    The Zamnbian government has decided to intensify its patrols along the country’s northern borders with the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), ‘The Post’ newspaper reported on Tuesday.

    It quoted security sources as saying a special team had been sent to the northern Kaputa area following a cross-border attack at the weekend by suspected DRC soldiers in which two Zambians attending a funeral lost their lives. It said four other people were wounded.

    The report gave no further details other than to say the incident occurred in Reuben Musonda village outside Kaputa.
