The positions of the Wazalendo Lunyuki group in Uvira were reportedly heavily shelled by FARDC troops.
André Byadunia, a civil society leader in Uvira, said those killed included one soldier and members of the Wazalendo Lunyuki group, while others were wounded.
'The figures show that two civilians were killed by gunfire, one FARDC soldier was also shot dead by the Lunyuki group, and one member of Wazalendo from the Lunyuki faction was injured,' he said.
FARDC forces and Wazalendo fighters have frequently clashed despite being allies in the fight against AFC/M23 rebels.
Three people, including one soldier, were killed in recent clashes between the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (FARDC) and Wazalendo fighters in Uvira territory, South Kivu.
