Rwanda has rejected the U.S accusation that it was involved in last Friday's bombing on sites for internally displaced persons (IDPs) in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), which killed at least 14 people.

"The attempt by the U.S. Department of State to immediately and without any investigation place blame on Rwanda for the loss of lives in the IDP camps is unjustified," the Rwandan government spokesperson's office said in a statement Sunday.
