AFC/M23 Air Strikes Target Wazalendo Positions in Masisi

On September 28, 2026, air strikes attributed to the AFC/M23 rebels targeted two Wazalendo positions in Masisi, North Kivu, hitting villages of Kaleta and Bitoyi around 7 a.m., using drones. These strikes follow days of fighting in the area, including around Miko and Remeka, where control of several localities has shifted. Traffic on the Nyabiondo-Kashebere-Mungazi route has been halted since September 24 due to renewed clashes. Additionally, at least eight civilians were killed and six wounded in Burungu on Saturday night, with heavy weapon fire heard in the region, worsening the humanitarian situation.
