In an incident during Martyrs' Day celebrations in Kampala, a female suicide bomber and another suspected rebel were killed in an explosion. The blast occurred in Munyonyo, where large crowds had gathered to commemorate 19th-century martyrs. Fortunately, no civilian injuries were reported. Authorities identified the assailants as linked to the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), a rebel group with ties to ISIL (ISIS) known for past attacks in Uganda. In response to the explosion, police and military have intensified security measures in the city.
The good thing, though, is that there were no people nearby who were injured.
The ADF has pledged allegiance to ISIL (ISIS) and was behind a spate of deadly bombings in Uganda in 2021.
