UN Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold charged Belgium with violating trust territory neutrality by letting Mobutu's Congolese troops pass through Ruanda Urundi en route to Kivu. He demanded disarmament of Congolese forces entering Belgian territory and proper guarding to prevent action. A Dayal report said about 100 Congo lese troops crossed into Kivu to align with Mobutu, but the incursion was repelled and most Mobutu units were arrested.
