At least one person died and several were wounded in an explosion on Monday on a bus near the Ugandan capital Kampala, police said, as President Yoweri Museveni suggested it was caused by a bomb, IgbereTV reports.
Another explosion in the capital on Saturday killed one person and injured three others, which police called an “act of domestic terror” and for which the Islamic State group claimed responsibility.
Ugandan police spokesman Fred Enanga said bomb specialists were sent to Lungala after Monday’s deadly explosion in a bus belonging to the firm Swift Safaris around 5 pm (1400 GMT).
He said in a statement that two people had died, but the police later tweeted a correction, saying that one person had been killed.
Enanga said several people had been injured and they were being evacuated from the area.
“The scene has been cordoned off pending a thorough assessment and investigation by the bomb experts,” he said.
Enanga gave no more detail on the suspected causes of the explosion.
Museveni suggested earlier that the fatality could have been a person handling a bomb.
“The Police are investigating whether the person blown up was the one carrying the bomb or not,” the president tweeted
