900 killed in DRC army, rebel fighting since May: military

Fighting between DR Congo's military and M23 rebels killed more than 900 combattants in the country's restive east before the insurgents were routed earlier this month, a senior military official said on Monday.

"Between May 20 and November 5, the... [army] had 201 dead and 680 wounded.

“On the M23 side, there were 721 dead and 543 captured, including 72 Rwandans and 28 Ugandans," said General Jean-Lucien Bahuma, a senior commander in the North Kivu region where the fighting took place.

Three UN peacekeepers were also killed.
