Democratic Republic of Congo troops and rebels have commenced fighting, at least two rebels have been reported dead and one soldier injured.
According to news24, the clashes in the town of Kahunga, north of the provincial capital of Goma, were the first since UN peacekeeping troops and government soldiers forced rebels from the M23 movement to retreat on 30 August.
Prosper Basse, spokesperson for the UN brigade said, ""The situation is calm once again".
However, M23 leader Bertrand Bisimwa said six government soldiers had been killed, and blamed Kinshasa for trying to "undermine" peace talks by attacking his men.
