{{DRC forces (FARDC) Wednesday deliberately fired a rocket across the border onto Rwandan territory. }} <\/p>\n
The rocket fired using 107mm Rocket Launcher landed in Bugu village, Busigari Cell in Cyanzarwe Sector, Rubavu District at around one o\u2019clock on Thursday afternoon. <\/p>\n
The bomb landed in a built up urban area and caused damage to property.<\/p>\n
This provocative act follows a similar incident on 15 July 2013 when FARDC deliberately fired two bombs in Kageshi and Gasiza Cells of Busasamana Sector in Rubavu District.<\/p>\n
Brig. Gen. Joseph Nzabamwita, Rwanda\u2019s military spokesman said: “Today\u2019s bombing was completely unprovoked and senseless. <\/p>\n
The Government of Rwanda has requested the Expanded Joint Verification Mechanism (EJVM) to visit the area to verify today\u2019s bombing.” \u200e<\/p>\n
EJVM findings in their 22 July report following their investigation of the July bombing confirmed the deliberate shooting by FARDC onto Rwanda Territory.\u200e <\/p>\n
The EVJM was set up in 2012 by the ICGLR and consists of 23 senior military officers from all 11 ICGLR member states including two each from DRC and Rwanda.<\/p>\n
