Ugandan police urge calm after serious blast in capital

Ugandan police have urged the public to remain calm after an explosion rocked the capital city of Kampala on Saturday.

Spokesperson Fred Enanga said in a tweet that police are seeking to establish the circumstances surrounding the incident, which occurred at around 9 p.m. at a popular restaurant in the suburb of Komamboga, killing one person and sending seven others to hospital with serious injuries.

"The scene has been cordoned off and our joint task team from the bomb squad was called in to thoroughly document the scene, to help determine whether the explosion arose out of an intentional act or not," Enanga said.

No individual or group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack.
