Rwandan police on Friday shot and killed a Congolese soldier who crossed the border and fired at security forces, Rwanda's army said, as fighting intensified 50 km (30 miles) away between Congo's military and rebels it says are backed by Rwanda.
The Central African neighbours have been locked in a diplomatic crisis since the M23 rebels launched a major offensive in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo last month.
Two Rwandan police officers were injured before an officer on duty fired back at the soldier, who was killed 25 metres inside Rwanda, an RDF statement said. The M23 is waging its most sustained offensive since capturing swathes of territory in eastern Congo in 2012-2013.
