Two other people were killed in the attack but their identities have not been made public. Witnesses say the drones hit Lake Kivu and a two-storey residential building frequently occupied by expatriates and aid workers in the rebel-held city early on Wednesday morning. In a post on X, French President Emmanuel Macron confirmed the death of Karine Buisset, who worked for the UN children's charity Unicef, and urged "respect for humanitarian law". Unicef said it was ''devastated and outraged'' by her death and described Buisset as "a dedicated humanitarian who worked tirelessly to support children and families affected by conflict and crisis.'' The head of the UN mission in DR Congo denounced the escalation of violence. "I condemn in the strongest terms the use of weapons, including armed drones that endanger civilian populations and United Nations personnel," said Bruno Lemarquis, in a statement on Wednesday. The M23 rebels took control of Goma, the capital of North Kivu province, near the border with Rwanda, early last year. The group has since 2021 seized swathes of mineral-rich eastern DR Congo, with multiple ceasefires brokered only to collapse soon after. (BBC)
