Neither the country’s official authorities, nor the UN mission said who could be responsible for the attack.

Unidentified persons opened fire on a UN Mission helicopter in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DCR). A peacekeeper died. This was reported on Sunday, February 5, by Agence France-Presse, citing a representative of the mission.

It was reported that the helicopter was shot down after taking off from the city of Beni. At the same time, the pilot was also injured. But he was able to continue the flight and land at the airport in the provincial capital of Goma.

The dead peacekeeper, according to Agence France-Presse, was a South African citizen.

Recall that the current mission in DRC began working in DR Congo on July 1, 2010, replacing the former UN peacekeeping mission in the country. His mandate includes supporting the Congolese government’s efforts to stabilize a region torn by rebel violence.

Note that Uganda was ordered to pay Congo 325 million dollars as compensation for the occupation in 1998-2003 and the death of local residents. The corresponding decision was made by the International Court of Justice – the main judicial body of the UN

It will be remembered that last November in the north of Burkina Faso, militants attacked a police post and killed 53 people. In connection with the incident, the commander of the first district and the commander of the group of the Northern sector were removed from their positions.
