Press Release: RWANDA PROTESTS PROVOCATIVE CROSS-BORDER BOMBING FROM DRC 15 July 2013 Rwanda’s Ministry of Defence has confirmed the deliberate bombing today on Rwandan territory from a DRC area controlled by FARDC and MONUSCO. Military spokesperson Brig Gen Joseph Nzabamwita said: "Two bombs landed at Kageshi and Gasiza Cells, Busasamana Sector, Rubavu District, Western Rwanda at 15h05. This was a provocative and deliberate act by FARDC and MONUSCO since there was no fighting nearby between the warring factions. Fighting between FARDC and M23 started on Sunday, 14 July 2013, we have credible information that FDLR is currently embedded in FARDC." There were no casualties from the bombings on Rwandan territory and Brig Gen Nzabamwita urged population to remain calm as the Government of Rwanda engages the DRC Government and MONUSCO to ask them to desist from any provocative acts on Rwandan soil.
