"This morning, after lava flows from Nyiragongo volcano have stopped, most of Congolese evacuated to Rubavu are returning back home. Rwanda received around 8000 people last night," the ministry said on its official Twitter account.

Thousands of residents in Goma, a major city in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, spent the night outdoors following eruption on Saturday, according to a spokesperson for the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC).

"There has not been a massive panic movement, but people are really worried," said Tom Peyre-Costa, the council's spokesperson for west and central Africa.
