Blasts killed at least nine people Friday in a displaced persons camp on the outskirts of Goma in the war-torn eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, local sources said.

"Bombs" fell on huts housing displaced people, according to witnesses, in the central African country's eastern region, which has seen ongoing fighting between M23 (March 23 movement) rebels and the government.
