Ugandan security forces have reported the killing of two individuals described as “armed terrorists” in the capital city of Kampala. The incident occurred as the country was observing Martyrs Day, a Christian holiday commemorating the faithful who died in the 19th century.
According to the Ugandan army, a counter-terrorism unit intercepted and neutralized the suspects, one of whom was identified as a suicide bomber. The operation took place near the Roman Catholic Munyonyo Martyrs’ Shrine, where a small congregation had gathered for prayers.
Authorities have not disclosed further details about the suspects or the nature of the threat, but the incident underscores ongoing concerns about security during national commemorations. The situation remains under control, and security measures are reportedly being heightened across the city.
