Rwanda's military said it shot dead a Congolese "soldier" and arrested two others after they crossed the border early Tuesday, as tensions simmer over violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo's volatile eastern city of Goma. 

"The FARDC soldiers had in their possession one AK-47 gun, four magazines with 105 rounds, one protective vest and cannabis sachets," the RDF said.
