Two Tanzanian military armoured vehicles have been hit by shells fired by M23 rebels in the Congolese town of Sake, witnesses have told the BBC.

A Congolese military source and an eye witness said the attack occurred on Thursday, leaving one Tanzanian soldier injured. A civilian has reportedly been injured as well.

However, the Tanzanian army spokesperson told the BBC that they were not aware of the attack.

Tanzania, South Africa and Malawi have sent troops to DR Congo under the banner of the 16-member regional bloc, the Southern African Development Community (Sadc).

Sadc troops and the Congolese army have been battling M23 rebels since early February, particularly around Sake.
