Content_paragraphs:  In Beni territory, attacks against civilians, FARDC positions and MONUSCO
  
  by suspected Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) elements continued. A MONUSCO
  
  convoy was attacked on 22 June along the Beni-Kasindi road, resulting in one
  
  peacekeeper being killed and one injured. ADF combatants carried out at least
  
  25 attacks against civilians in the northern, north-western and south-eastern areas of
  
  Beni territory, as well as in the Irumu and Mambasa territories of Ituri Province,
  
  resulting in the deaths of 73 civilians, including 11 women and three children. The
  
  ADF also increased pressure on the FARDC, with at least 21 clashes resulting in some
  
  50 FARDC soldiers being killed and dozens wounded. There was an increase in ADF
  
  activities near their traditional stronghold areas in the Mayangose jungle, east of Beni,
  
  and the “triangle” to the north of Beni from where they had been dislodged by the
  
  FARDC. This is possibly linked to a reduced FARDC presence in those areas in the
  
  context of growing logistical challenges to maintain forward operating bases in
  
  remote areas.
