Nyamagabe Bus Shooting
On 18 June 2022, a public passenger bus was attacked in Nyamagabe District, Southern Province, Rwanda, killing two people.
The bus was driving on the road between Nyambage and Rusizi, crossing through the Nyungwe Forest, in the Kitabi sector of Nyamagabe. The perpetrators stormed the bus and killed the bus driver, then shot and killed a passenger, managing to injure six other passengers. Rwandan authorities described the attackers as "armed thugs" and suspected the armed FLN wing of the rebel Rwanda Movement for Democratic Change (RMDC) of responsibility. The FLN had previously carried out terrorist attacks in Rwanda in 2018 and 2019, which together killed nine people.
