Two earthquakes struck hours apart Sunday in Rwanda and neighboring Congo, killing at least 39 people, including some who were in a church that collapsed, officials said.
Nearly 400 people were injured.
A magnitude 6.0 quake struck Congo, the U.S. Geological Survey reported.
The second quake, which registered 5.0, hit a few hours later in Rwanda’s rural Rusizi District.
“I was at home when the earthquake hit and the next thing I heard was the house falling down,” said Florence Nyiranzoga, who was airlifted to the Rwandan capital, Kigali, for treatment of her injuries.
