GOMA, Democratic Republic of Congo (Reuters) - Fighting between the army and a group of armed men in eastern Congo forced some 11,000 people to flee across the border into Uganda in the last few days, the United Nations said on Tuesday.

Congo's army said on Monday it had recovered two villages near the eastern border with Uganda and Rwanda after they were seized on Sunday by fighters from the M23 rebel group - though they denied involvement.
