🇷🇼🇨🇩⚡- A vessel carrying up to 500 military personnel docked in Bukavu, in M23‑controlled South Kivu in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. The boat is believed to have departed from Rwanda.

Meanwhile, DRC‑backed Wazalendo militias are conducting counter‑attacks against M23 positions amid a large‑scale Congolese aerial campaign across South Kivu. M23 forces have withdrawn from Sange and Luvungi, regrouping towards Kamanyola. At the same time, the DR Congolese Air Force has carried out sustained airstrikes in the Minembwe highlands over the past several days.
