Two United Nations officials are missing in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The two were part of the U.N. mission in the DRC, or MONUSCO.
A government statement said Michael Sharp, a US citizen, and Zaida Catalan, of Swedish nationality, had "fallen into the hands of negative forces not yet identified," along with four Congolese they were with near the village of Ngombe.
It did not give a date for the incident. A UN spokesman telephoned by Reuters declined to comment on the incident.
"The administrative and security services are working ... in concert with Monusco (the UN mission) to obtain the liberation of the kidnapped persons," the statement signed by Information Minister Lambert Mende added.
