GOMA, Democratic Republic of Congo, May 25 (Reuters) - An earthquake on the border of Congo and Rwanda razed buildings in the city of Goma on Tuesday and stoked fears a nearby volcano would erupt again three days after dozens of people were killed and 17 villages were destroyed by lava.
The quake, measured at 5.3 magnitude by the Rwandan Seismic Monitor, was the largest of over 100 tremors that have followed the eruption on Saturday of Congo's Mount Nyiragongo volcano, one of the world's most active and dangerous.
"We know that children were injured when a building collapsed on Tuesday just a few steps from the UNICEF office in Goma," the U.N. children's agency said.
