[Regnum] The Rwandan Defense Forces violated the border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the DR Congo Armed Forces (FARDC) said in a statement circulated on social networks.

According to the military, the incident occurred on the morning of June 27. The FARDC called this activity "intervention."

The statement also says that with such actions, the Rwandan army continues its attempts to destabilize and deliberately violate the territorial integrity of the DR Congo. At the same time, it is noted that the Congolese forces hit the detachments that violated the border and forced them out of the country.

As reported by IA Regnum, on June 11, 2022, the DR Congo and Rwanda accused each other of rocket attacks near their common border. This happened against the backdrop of a clash between the military and rebels in the eastern Congolese province of North Kivu.

During the shelling, two children were killed and one soldier was injured. In addition, one of the local schools was seriously damaged. On July 7, 2022, the authorities of these countries agreed on a process to de-escalate tensions and normalize diplomatic relations.
seems like it's going swimmingly
In November, the leaders of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, Burundi and Angola signed a ceasefire declaration in eastern DR Congo. They met in the Angolan capital of Luanda.
