Congolese soldier killed in Rwanda, fighting with rebels picks up

Congolese policemen guard the border crossing point with Rwanda after a Congolese soldier was killed in a clash near an area where the Congolese army is fighting M23 rebels, following renewed tensions around Goma in the North Kivu province, Democratic Republic of Congo on June 17, 2022.

Rwanda denies Congo's allegations that it supports the guerrillas, whose leadership hails from the same Tutsi ethnic group as Rwandan President Paul Kagame, or that it has sent troops into eastern Congo. The incident at the border took place earlier on Friday when a Congolese soldier crossed into Rwanda from the Congolese city of Goma and fired an AK-47 rifle at Rwandan security personnel and civilians, the Rwanda Defence Force said.
