NAIROBI — Gunfire and explosions ripped through the eastern city of Goma in the Democratic Republic of Congo on Monday as the Rwandan-backed M23 rebel group clashed with government forces.

M23 rebels, backed by Congo’s neighbor Rwanda, were attacking. Goma was under siege. But bombs were falling to the north and west. People had nowhere to go but the city. They were caught in a trap.

The M23 rebels announced the city’s capture in a statement minutes before a 48-hour deadline expired that had been imposed by the group for the Congolese army to surrender their weapons.
