At least five people were killed and 15 wounded in a suspected militant bomb on a church in the North Kivu region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) on Sunday, DW News reported.

Congolese military spokesman Antony Mualushayi said the "terrorist act" occurred at a church in the town of Kasindi, which lies on the border with neighboring Uganda.
