Armed clashes between unidentified groups, likely including Wazalendo and M23/RDF forces, occurred on April 9, 2025, across multiple locations in Nyiragongo territory, North Kivu province, Democratic Republic of Congo, resulting in an estimated 10 fatalities. The high severity classification reflects the ongoing instability in this eastern DRC region.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates and whether fighting spreads to mining areas or transport corridors that serve the region's mineral extraction operations.

Watch points

• Monitor for expansion of clashes beyond Nyiragongo territory into areas with active mining operations
• Track whether fighting disrupts road access between North Kivu and regional transport hubs
