Rwanda said on Monday it had requested a regional body to investigate shelling of its territory by the military of neighbouring Democratic Republic of Congo that it said had injured several people and damaged property.

The alleged incident could further inflame relations between the two countries, which have long traded accusations about support for militant groups.In a statement, Rwanda’s ministry of defence said it had asked the Expanded Joint Verification Mechanism to investigate an attack on its territory. EJVM is a group of military experts from the region that monitors and investigates security incidents.

“Those injured are receiving treatment and officials are assessing the extent of the damage. The RDF has requested for urgent investigation by the regional EJVM, and Rwandan authorities are also engaging DRC counterparts over the incident,” it added in the statement.
