Tanks deployed in Goma, capital of North Kivu province, to head off rebels who have seized major towns in county's east.
UN peacekeepers in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo have stationed tanks around the key city of Goma to try to head off a possible attack by M23 rebels.
The deployment came on Thursday as Ban Ki-moon, the UN chief, urged the presidents of DR Congo and its rival Rwanda to "defuse tensions" over the rebellion.
An AFP photographer said about a dozen UN tanks were stationed around 25km north of Goma, the capital of North Kivu province, on a road linking the city to Rutshuru which the rebels seized briefly at the weekend.
At least two Congolese army tanks were also seen on the road.
