Kenyan soldiers have landed in the city of Goma in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), as part of a regional peacekeeping mission to the region. Their arrival on Saturday comes as the M23 rebel group has surged across the DRC’s North Kivu province, capturing swaths of territory and inflaming regional tensions. This week, Kenya’s Parliament approved the deployment of about 900 soldiers to the DRC as part of a joint military force from the East African Community (EAC) bloc.

Ukrainians are celebrating in the southern city of Kherson after the retreat of Russian forces. It is one of the most significant victories for Ukrainian troops since Russia invaded in February. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says the retreating Russian forces destroyed critical infrastructure in the city — including communications, water and electricity — before their withdrawal. Moscow had claimed the region as ‘Russian land forever’ and annexed it in September — a move dubbed illegal by Kyiv and denounced by Western countries.

It was still unclear which party would control the House of Representatives as counting continued in razor-tight races in California and a smattering of other states. – Subscribe to our channel: http://aje.io/AJSubscribe – Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AJEnglish – Find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/aljazeera – Check our website: https://www.aljazeera.com/ @AljazeeraEnglish #Aljazeeraenglish #News #unitedstates #US […]
