The United Nations says government soldiers in the Democratic Republic of Congo are thought to have killed at least 100 people in clashes with a local militia group in the last few days.
The fighting occurred in the central province of Kasai.
The UN said the troops fired indiscriminately with machine guns at members of the Kamwina Nsapu group, who are loyal to a local chief who was killed by soldiers in August.
A UN spokeswoman, Liz Throssell, said they were deeply concerned by the high number of deaths and disproportionate use of force.
