The US had issued an advisory on October 26, on a possible terrorist attack.

Two explosions rocked the Ugandan capital's city center within 30 minutes of each other on Tuesday, according to police and a journalist at the scene of one of the blasts.

One blast went off near the Central Police Station and another near Parliament. The cause of the explosions was not immediately clear and no group has claimed responsibility.
The first explosion occurred at about 10 a.m. local time on Kampala's Buganda Road, according to the journalist at the scene.

Ugandan state minister Kabbyanga Godfrey Baluku Kiime tweeted about the explosion, saying: "There has been a bomb blast at the headquarters of [the Ministry of Information and Communications Technology and National Guidance]. All of us are safe. A few colleagues were hurt by flying window glasses and debris."

Police and army personnel cordoned off streets around the blast site and several ambulances were deployed.

Images on social media showed several people lying on the streets near the entrance of Central Police Station and Kampala's High Court, though there is no clarity on the numbers of dead or injured at this point.

At Parliamentary Avenue, where the second explosion occurred, all streets have been cordoned off by security, with legislators and parliamentary staff evacuated.

Last month, an explosion in Kampala killed at least one person and injured several others. Reuters reported that the Islamic State had claimed responsibility for that blast.

Do we even have experts here in Nigeria that can detonate explosives?

Terrorism is fast spreading too bad

People should tell this African countries that terrorism is not the best way to go,they should ask Nigeria how far

This is likely to be a religion- influenced attack


I'll never understand why a grown man will think violence holds a reward for him in the after life...

It is truly an opium

Uganda accepted to take in refugees from Afghanistan. This is the result

Idiotic paedophile self acclaimed prophet people on the beat.


All what they know is causing the world more pains and tears all in a bid for sexual pleasure with virgins in their hell. What a religion.

Ok

Hope it’s not those Afghan refugees they took in.

If care is not taken na terrorism go destroy Africa

As poor as this country is you can see the genuiness in the response attampt ...u can see the passion to help

But in Nigeria na this can't happen

Waiting for ESN or BNG to replicate same in the SE.

H

Jesu!

Damit.

Islamabad

Bombing everywhere...









Guys wey no get girlfriend get peace of mind

Mayazez:


Nigeria is a failed nation.. so don't be surprised

I don't understand the smiling at this?

Humans are a natural disaster to themselves.


Until we realise that there's only one race (The Human Race) Tribalism, Racism & Religious Fanatism, to name a few will always be the worst undoing of the general human populace.





R.I.P to the lost innocent souls.

Insecurity for one is insecurity for all

That's why it baffles me when some Nigerians are happy about insecurity and killings in the other region... Be it out of hatred or foolishness, no one should celebrate killing of fellow Nigerians

Peace

With the little resources and development Africa has, it is still the most terrorized continent.

It's high time Islam revisited some of her ancient teachings. To avoid misinterpretations.
