Drone Strikes Kill Aid Worker in Goma, DR Congo

Drone strikes hit Democratic Republic of the Congo===Goma in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, killing at least three people, including a French aid worker from UNICEF. This marks the first such attack in the city since the M23 rebellion seized it last year. The M23 rebellion blamed the Democratic Republic of the Congo===Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo for the attack, which targeted a residential area and the residence of M23 political coordinator Corneille Nangaa. French President Emmanuel Macron and European Commissioner Hadja Lahbib condemned the attack, calling for respect for international humanitarian law. The incident follows weeks of intensifying drone operations by both sides, including a previous attack that killed M23 military spokesperson Willy Ngoma. Mediation efforts by entities like Qatar and the United States continue amidst the escalating conflict, with the United States recently sanctioning Rwanda===Rwandan Defence Force over alleged support for the M23 rebellion.
