The US accused Rwanda of violating a peace deal after M23 rebels seized Uvira in eastern Congo. Despite a fragile calm, hundreds of civilians were killed and thousands displaced, raising fears the renewed fighting could derail US-brokered peace efforts.
The advisory warned Indian nationals against traveling to Bukavu and immediately depart to safer locations amid reports of M23 being only around 20-25 km away from the city.
Authorities in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) have reported that at least 773 people have been killed in Goma, the largest city in the country's east, and surrounding areas within a week due to ongoing clashes with M23 rebels, according to a report by Al Jazeera.
