The UN on Friday detailed more than 250 "extrajudicial or targeted killings" in the the Democratic Republic of Congo's Kasai region from mid-March to mid-June, counting dozens of children among the dead.
"The UN team was able to confirm that between 12 March and 19 June some 251 people were the victims of extrajudicial and targeted killings," said the report from the United Nations human rights office.
"These included 62 children, of which 30 were aged under eight," it added, specifically accusing government agents of killing seven minors.
