Locals were able to identify the bodies of 29 people, while six other burnt bodies were buried at the site, a provincial official on Sunday told France24.
A 4-month-old child was among the victims, the official added.
Gold-rich Ituri province has been plunged back into a cycle of violence since late 2017.
According to the United Nations, insurgent militants killed more than 1,200 civilians last year in the provinces of North Kivu and Ituri. These repeated killings lead to the displacement of families and even entire villages.
