A mass prison break occurred at Munzenze prison in Goma, Democratic Republic of Congo, on Monday morning amidst an offensive by the M23 rebel group. The prison, which holds approximately 3,000 inmates, was reportedly set ablaze as prisoners escaped into the surrounding streets. The escape was facilitated by the M23 movement entering the city, with reports of heavy artillery fire heard in the city center. There have been fatalities reported during the escape, though specific numbers have not been disclosed. Footage has emerged showing prisoners fleeing from the north east corner of the prison.
