Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Security in Tororo District Wednesday morning recovered an anti-tank cluster bomb whose explosion would have caused damage to an unknown extent, police said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe bomb had been abandoned adjacent to the district service commission and resident district commissioner’s block,\u201d Bukedi South Region police spokesperson ASP Musa Mugwe informed.<\/p>\n

The bomb was discovered at around 8am by locals who alerted police.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe local people who were digging told police which rushed to the scene and sealed it off before taking the explosive for further investigation,\u201d ASP Mugwe noted.<\/p>\n

Further, he commended the residents for their vigilance observing that the deadly device \u201cwould have landed in the hands of wrong individuals who could have used it to destroy lives and property.\u201d<\/p>\n

“This is dangerous to our lives and we need to be extra cautious. We are happy that the device was discovered before it exploded,” he emphasized.<\/p>\n

ASP Mugwe urged masses to always report to security in case of any strange or suspicious objects in communities.<\/p>\n

Uganda last recorded a major bomb explosion in November 2021 after terror-inspired city blasts claimed at least six lives and left over 30 injured, according to official data.<\/p>\n
