The Congolese army says it has seized the headquarters of a Burundian rebel group in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

A military spokesman said members of the National Forces of Liberation (FNL) had fled into the forest after three days of intense fighting.

He said the army had also fought against a Rwandan rebel group, the CNRD, and another Burundian group known as Red Tabara, which last month staged several cross-border raids into Burundi.

A number of Rwandan and Burundian rebel groups are based in the east of the DR Congo, along with dozens of local militias.
