At least three people had been killed and hundreds of others forced to flee their homes in the Central African Republic [CAR] over an attack by gunmen against a neighborhood in the country’s capital.

No group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack, but members of the anti-Balaka militia are suspected.

According to witnesses, soldiers from the United Nations mission in the CAR engaged the assailants and were ultimately able to repel them. Reports said fighting had died down when night fell.
