    The South African National Defence Force (#SANDF) has suffered its first casualties as part of the Southern African Development Community Mission in the Democratic Republic of #Congo (#SAMIDRC), with two soldiers killed and three injured in a mortar attack.

    The SANDF today confirmed that on 14 February at about 13h30, a mortar bomb landed inside one of the South African Contingent military bases.

    As a result of this indirect fire, the SANDF suffered two fatalities and three members sustained injuries. The injured were taken to the nearest Hospital in #Goma for medical attention, Department of Defence Head of Communication Siphiwe Dlamini said in a statement.

    He added that details of the incident are still sketchy at the moment, and further investigations will be conducted to “determine the basis of the incident.”」
