UPDF fighter jets have once again carried out another assault on the hideouts for Allied Democratic Forces inside the Democratic Republic of Congo."Our fighter- bombers paid another visit to the terrorists, quite some distance inside Congo, in the Mambasa territory area. They attacked 3 targets, 180kms, 184kms and 200kms, respectively, from the border on the Ntoroko side," Museveni said.
Last month, the Ugandan army bombed new ADF camps where it is suspected that the second in command of the group, Meddie Nkalubo was killed. President Museveni recently said because of the heavy fire against ADF , the group has now extended further to as far as Mambasa but noted Uganda has mooted a plan to DRC government to have them completely wiped out and areas secured.
Designated as a terrorist group by the US government, ADF has used the name Madina at Tauheed Wau Mujahedeen to refer to emphasize its links to the Islamic State.
