M23 rebels clashed with soldiers on two fronts in eastern DR Congo on Tuesday, officials said, despite a regional ceasefire deal due to take effect the same day.
According to aid workers, fighting had erupted on Monday in North Kivu province, where the Tutsi-led M23 has captured swathes of territory since re-emerging from dormancy in late 2021.
