The U.N. says it is "deeply concerned" by "credible reports" that the Rwandan -backed M23 rebels are advancing south from Goma to Bukavu .

The group's capture of most of Goma , the capital of North Kivu province, earlier in the week was a dramatic escalation in a region that has seen decades of conflict involving multiple armed groups.

"We have also documented summary executions of at least 12 people by M23 ," says a rights office spokesman.
