Fresh fighting erupts at tense DR Congo-Rwanda border

KINSHASA: Rwandan and Congolese troops traded heavy weapons fire on Thursday (Friday in Manila) in a second day of fighting on the border between the two neighbors, which have been locked in a decades-long dispute.

After the morning clashes abated, rival troops were engaged in a staredown from afar in the mountainous Kanyesheza region which straddles the border, a Congolese administrative official said on condition of anonymity.
