Rwanda on Saturday dismissed a US assertion that its forces were involved in a deadly attack on a camp for displaced people in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.
At least nine people were killed in blasts on Friday in the camp on the outskirts of the city of Goma, local sources said.
The US State Department said in a statement it “strongly condemns the attack… from Rwanda Defence Forces (RDF) and M23 positions on the Mugunga camp”.
