UN-deployed South African snipers have killed six M23 rebels in the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, a military union official said on Thursday.

iafrica reported that, the South African snipers took machine gun posts last Saturday.

Defence Force spokesperson Brigadier General Xolani Mabanga confirmed South Africa forces had engaged rebels, but could not elaborate on the sniper reports.

South African soldiers are part of a UN intervention brigade, which has an unprecedented mandate to battle the armed movements long active in eastern Congo.
