Kampalo, prestolnico Ugande so pretresle eksplozije. V bližini parlamenta in policijske postaje so se v razmaku treh minut razstrelili trije napadalci na motorjih. Umrle so vsaj tri osebe, 33 jih je ranjenih, od tega jih je pet v kritičnem stanju. Število žrtev bo najverjetneje naraslo.

V Ugandi so za napad obtožili pripadnike domače teroristične združbe, povezane z Združenimi demokratičnimi silami (ADF) iz Demokratične republike Kongo.

Pristojni so v mestu odkrili še več eksplozivnih teles. Izvzeti niso niti nadaljnji napadi. Četrtega napadalca so aretirali in mu zasegli samomorilski jopič.
Today’s Bomb explosions in Kampala remind us of dangers from domestic rebels like ADF, regional terrorists like Tigray based TPLF in Ethiopia & CIA proxy armies. E. African countries must increase their commitment to Multilateralism & Collective Security. #NoMore terrorists pic.twitter.com/Gdv01nhcv8

ADF je prevzela odgovornost za napad, v katerem je prejšnji mesec umrla 20-letna točajka.
