A French national working for the UN in the Democratic Republic of Congo has been killed, the French president has said, following reports of drone strikes on the eastern city of Goma.
Two other people were killed in the attack but their identities have not been made public.
Witnesses say the drones hit Lake Kivu and a two-storey residential building frequently occupied by expatriates and aid workers in the rebel-held city early on Wednesday morning.
In a post on X, French President Emmanuel Macron confirmed the death of Karine Buisset, who worked for the UN children's charity Unicef, and urged "respect for humanitarian law".
Unicef said it was ''devastated and outraged'' by her death and described Buisset as "a dedicated humanitarian who worked tirelessly to support children and families affected by conflict and crisis.''
