Deadly explosions struck an M23/AFC rebel rally in eastern Congo, killing and injuring several people. The conflict has claimed over 7,000 lives this year, with DR Congo accusing Rwanda of supporting the rebels.
Several people were killed and injured following explosions at a rally of M23/AFC rebels in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo on Thursday, according to local media reports.
The blasts occurred in Bukavu as Corneille Nangaa, the coordinator of the M23/AFC groups, was concluding the event, Congolese news outlet Actualite reported, citing eyewitness accounts.
Since December, the M23 group has expanded its territorial control in eastern Congo, recently capturing the provincial capitals of Goma and Bukavu.
The ongoing conflict in the region has resulted in the deaths of over 7,000 people this year, prime minister Judith Suminwa Tuluka stated.
The government of DR Congo has accused Rwanda of supporting the rebel groups, a claim that Kigali denies. In response, countries including the United States and the United Kingdom have imposed sanctions on Rwanda over its alleged involvement.
