Goma, DR Congo: Rebels from the M23 movement captured a border town in eastern DR Congo without a fight on Sunday, local sources said, the same day a ceasefire between DR Congo and neighbouring Rwanda was meant to come into force.
Ishasha, on the border with Uganda, was the latest town to fall to the majority-ethnic Tutsi movement backed by Rwanda.
M23 has seized large swathes of territory in the Democratic Republic of Congo's North Kivu province since it launched an offensive at the end of 2021.
"Ishasha has passed without resistance under M23 control," civil society leader Romy Sawasawa told AFP.
Congolese police officers had crossed into Uganda to flee the "numerous and well-equipped" rebels.
