The M23 rebel group is advancing in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, seizing key cities, despite a US-brokered peace deal. Washington vows action against Rwanda for its continued backing of the rebels, violating the agreement.

• The M23 captured Uvira and Kipupu, continuing its westward push in South Kivu province.
• US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated Rwanda's actions violate the Washington Accords and the United States "will take action."
• The United Nations warns the M23's advance raises the "spectre of a regional conflagration" and potential "fragmentation" of the DRC, displacing over 200,000 people.
