A Swiss geologist and a Central African miner were killed in the Central African Republic on 29 July 2026. The two men were kidnapped by unidentified attackers earlier that day, according to the local public prosecutor's office. Their bodies were later found north of Bangui, the capital.

The public prosecutor's office reported the incident but did not name the group responsible. The area where the abduction occurred has seen repeated violence, though no organisation has claimed the attack. The victims were identified as a Swiss national working in geology and a local miner.
