Kinshasa - Congo has accused neighbouring Rwanda of sending troops across the border and fighting in support of a Congolese warlord.
A Rwandan military spokesperson denies the allegations.
North Kivu provincial Governor Julien Mpaluku says Rwandan soldiers backing Congo warlord Laurent Nkunda crossed into Congo three days ago and headed for the frontier villages of Tshanzu and Bunagana.
He said on Wednesday that Rwandan troops were fighting in Rumangabo, a small village north of the regional capital, Goma.
Rwandan military spokesperson Major Gill Rutaremara denies Rwandan soldiers were in Congo.
