Rebel forces have reportedly agreed to withdraw from the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo city of Goma, which they captured last week.
However, there are also reports of new fighting in the area.
At an emergency meeting on Saturday, regional leaders ordered the M23 rebels to leave Goma by Monday and senior commander Col Antoine Manzi has been quoted as saying they will now do so.
Some 500,000 people have fled their homes during seven months of fighting.
Both Uganda and Rwanda strongly deny UN accusations that they are backing the M23.
'Heavy shelling'M23 military commander Sultani Makenga on Monday flew to Uganda for talks, after which Uganda's chief of defence forces Aronda Nyakayirima told Reuters news agency that he had agreed to withdraw from Goma and the nearby town of Sake, also seized last week, by Tuesday afternoon.
Asked by the AFP news agency, Col Manzi said: "It's true."
- Named after the 23 March 2009 peace accord which they accuse the government of violating
- This deal saw them join the army before they took up arms once more in April 2012
- Also known as the Congolese Revolutionary Army
- Mostly from minority Tutsi ethnic group
- Deny being backed by Rwanda and Uganda
- Believed to have 1,200 to 6,000 fighters
- International Criminal Court indicted top commander Bosco "Terminator" Ntaganda in 2006 for allegedly recruiting child soldiers
- The UN and US imposed a travel ban and asset freeze earlier this month on the group's leader, Sultani Makenga
M23 political leader Jean-Marie Runiga at an on-going press conference in Goma has said the rebels want negotiations with Congolese President Joseph Kabila.
The BBC's Catherine Byaruhanga in the Ugandan capital, Kampala, says following the summit on Saturday, an official told her the plan was to deploy a regional neutral force to Goma airport to secure the city for the DR Congo government.
Both the M23 and Rwanda's leaders are mostly ethnic Tutsis and on Tuesday, Rwanda accused a rival Hutu rebel group of attacking its territory not far from the border town of Goma.
Rwandan army spokesman Joseph Nzabamwita told AFP that about 100 Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR) fighters had attacked the villages of Cyanzarwe and Bugesh in Rwanda.
"As we are talking some are fleeing back to DRC, others deep inside Rwanda," he is quoted as saying.
Simone Schlindwein, a reporter for the German newspaper TAZ in Goma, told the BBC's Newsday programme the situation in the city was extremely confusing and it was abuzz with rumours.
There are reports of heaving shelling and gunfire from Kibumba about 30km (19 miles) north of Goma - the former frontline where the rebels have reportedly agreed to withdraw, she says.
The Rwandans and M23 have told her that the FDLR have recently infiltrated the area around Kibumba before launching the attack on Rwandan territory on Monday night.
The FDLR has denied attacking Rwanda, Ms Schlindwein later tweeted.
Rwanda has sought to justify its backing for previous rebel groups in eastern DR Congo by saying they are the only way of preventing Hutu militias from launching attacks.
Rwanda's President Paul Kagame came to power in 1994 at the end of the genocide of ethnic Tutsis and moderate Hutus, when many of those who carried out the killing fled into what is now DR Congo.
Following the rebel capture of Goma, the largest city in eastern DR Congo, the UN has warned of a growing humanitarian crisis in the mineral-rich region.
Aid officials said the fighting has made camps for people displaced by earlier conflicts inaccessible, with food and medicines running short.
Some five million people died during the 1997-2003 DR Congo conflict, which drew in several regional countries.
