Goma, DRC — Regional authorities in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo said Rwandan soldiers and artillery had supported attacks by the M23 rebel group Sunday, accusing Rwanda of seeking to occupy the Congolese border town of Bunagana.
The violence pushed over 25,000 people to flee the area, with thousands escaping to neighboring Uganda, the United Nations humanitarian agency OCHA said.
Congo's accusations are part of an escalating dispute between the neighbors that has revived old animosities.
Rwanda denies backing the M23 offensive.
