Explanation:
North Kivu and Ituri: These regions in the Democratic Republic of Congo have been in the news due to ongoing conflicts and violence involving various armed groups. The war between Armenia and Azerbaijan is unrelated to these regions. Therefore, pair 1 is not correctly matched.
Nagorno-Karabakh: Nagorno-Karabakh is a region in the South Caucasus that has been at the center of a territorial dispute between Armenia and Azerbaijan. The recent conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan in 2020 was primarily focused on the Nagorno-Karabakh region. Therefore, pair 2 is correctly matched.
Kherson and Zaporizhzhia: These regions are located in Ukraine and have not been directly involved in the dispute between Israel and Lebanon. Therefore, pair 3 is not correctly matched.
