Democratic Republic of the Congo: 6 soldiers killed in ambush north of Goma
Six soldiers have been killed in the Democratic Republic of Congo’s (DRC) North Kivu province, a region where Rwandan Hutu rebels are known to operate, regional and military sources said.
The attack took place in Rugari, about 50km north of Goma, the capital of North Kivu.
“A Republican Guard jeep was ambushed in Rugari,” said Justin Mukanya, administrator of Rutshuru territory, which lies on the border of Rwanda and Uganda, on Monday.
