M23 rebels seize Congolese town of Minova, escalating regional conflict and humanitarian crisis.

M23 rebels in eastern Congo have seized Minova, a key supply town for Goma. The capture, confirmed by the provincial governor, is part of the group's recent advances in the region. The M23, accused by Congo and the UN of Rwandan backing, which Rwanda denies, has displaced over 237,000 people this year alone. This conflict, ongoing since 2021, has led to one of the world's largest humanitarian crises, with over 7 million people displaced.
