Rebel group attack army camp in DRC

Fighters from a rebel group attacked an army position in the Democratic Republic of Congo’s conflict-torn east overnight.

The assistant to the military administrator of the eastern town of Rutshuru, Muhindo Luanzo, confirmed the attack.

Luanzo added that the village of Runyoni was also besieged by the attackers, but troops were already deployed to respond and chase the enemy.

The clashes began near the villages of Tshanzu and Runyoni, about 50 km northeast of the provincial capital Goma.
