Kampala: Two explosions rocked the capital of Uganda Kampala early Tuesday, killing at least three civilians in what the police described as a coordinated attack by extremists.
Three suicide bombers also died in the explosion, police said.
The explosion caused chaos in Kampala as a fearful population escaping from the city center.
“The threat of bombs is still active, especially from suicide striker,” said Police spokesman Fred Ubran, blamed the explosion in the Allied Democratic Force, an Islamic extremist group.
Twin explosions occur within three minutes.
Both were carried out by attackers carrying explosives.
A possible attack on the third target was thwarted by the police who chased and disarmed a suspected suicide bomber, said Swama.
The police released the security video recording of the right moment the bombers bump up their devices on the streets, sending a white smoke cloud to billow in the air.
One explosion was near the police station and the other on the road near the parliamentary building, according to the police and witnesses.
The explosion near the parliament seems to hit closer to the residential building insurance company and the next fire department parked outside.
The body part looks scattered on the road, and then some parliamentarians seem to evacuate the parliamentary building nearby.
At least 33 people were treated at the city’s main public reference hospital, Ubran told reporters.
Five injured critically, he said.
“We are grateful to God.
He has protected us,” Jane’s eyewitness said among one explosive scene.
“We first heard the explosion, and then when we stayed a little, we heard another explosion and saw dust throughout.” People hastily left the city after the attack, many people on a passenger motorcycle, as police attached near the explosive scenes, recorded records on social media.
Uganda officials have urged awareness after a series of bomb explosions in recent weeks.
One person was killed and at least seven others were injured in a blast at a restaurant on the outskirts of Kampala on October 23.
Another explosion two days later on the passenger bus only killed a suicide bomber, according to the police.
Even before the attack, the British government has updated the Ugandan trip advisor to say extremists “it is very likely to try to carry out attacks” in this East African country.
Allied Democratic Forces, Affiliate of the Islamic State group in Central Africa, claimed responsibility for the attack on restaurants.
Ubra, a police spokesman, said Tuesday’s attack gave birth to a “distinctive characteristic” of the work of this group, even though there was no claim to be immediate responsibility.
At least 150 planned attacks were recently tamed, he said, describing “domestic terror groups” who wanted to do more attacks.
The Allied Democratic Force has long opposed the rules of President Longtime Yoweri Musly, A.

It was the first African leader to spread peace explanation in Somalia to protect the federal government from the Al-Shabab extremist group.
In retaliation for the spread of Uganda forces to Somalia, the group carried out an attack in 2010 which killed at least 70 people gathered in public places in Kampala to watch the World Cup soccer match.
But the Allied Democratic Force, with its local roots, has become a more urgent challenge for Museveni, 77, who has ruled Uganda for 35 years and was re-elected in the 5-year-old Jandang period in January.
The group was founded in the early 1990s by Ugandan Muslim who said they had been ruled out by the Museveni policy.
At that time, the rebel group held a deadly terrorist attack in Ugandan villages and in the capital, including 1998 attacks where 80 students were slaughtered in the border city near the Congo border.
Ugandan’s military attack then forced the rebels to the East Congo, where many rebel groups could roam freely because the central government had limited control there.
The Alliance report between the Allied Democratic Forces and Islamic State groups first appeared in 2019, according to the site intelligence group, which tracked the online activities of extremist organizations.
