The African Union has said that the drone attack by the M23 armed group on a civilian airport in DR Congo could be seen as an act of terrorism.
The AU said via its X handle this Friday, that the attack, directed against an airport infrastructure located in a major urban centre and gravely endangering civilian populations, constitutes a serious violation of international humanitarian law.
Recall that the M23 group which is sponsored by Rwanda claimed responsibility for the attack which took place last weekend on the airport in Kisangani in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, saying it had destroyed the military drone command centre installed at the airport.
The United Nations however says it will soon send a mission to the region to help enforce a ceasefire.
