Fierce fighting rages in eastern DR Congo

‘Fierce fighting rages between UN peacekeepers and Ugandan rebels in the restive east of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The violent clashes erupted after peacekeepers tracked down the Allied Democratic Forces-National Army for the Liberation of Uganda (ADF-NALU) rebels in the troubled region early on Tuesday.

General Jean Baillaud, acting commander of the United Nations Stabilization Mission in the DR Congo (MONUSCO), said the UN forces attacked the rebels’ positions at dawn using combat helicopters.

This comes a day after a series of clashes between rebels and soldiers in a town in eastern Congo killed at least 30 people. The violent battle involved Congolese army and UN forces combating Ugandan rebels in North Kivu’s town of Eringeti.’
