At least 15 people have been killed and more than 100 are missing after heavy rains triggered landslides in Bulambuli district, Uganda.
District commissioner Faheera Mpalanyi reported that six bodies, including that of a baby, had been recovered so far amidst devastating landslides.
The heavy rains in recent days have caused flooding in northwest Uganda, prompting a disaster alert as main roads across the country were cut off.
Emergency teams have been mobilized to rescue stranded motorists, with some roads impassable and a boat capsizing during rescue efforts, leading to further loss of life.
