There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but officials blamed the attack on the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) armed group which has carried out massacres across the country.
Meanwhile, the government has vowed to end the activities of armed groups in the eastern city of Beni following bomb attacks on Sunday, according to Chinese news agency Xinhua.
On Monday, the city of Beni closed its schools, markets and churches for 48 hours as the attacks sparked fears of further violence, according to AFP.
