The Uganda Police Force have clarified that one person has been confirmed dead in the Swift Safaris bomb blast and not two as they had earlier announced.

 Police in a tweet said, "Correction: one person has been confirmed dead by the bomb experts."

This follows a Monday evening bomb blast on a bus belonging to Swift Safaris.  Police had in an earlier statement by its Spokesperson Fred Enanga confirmed two deaths.

 Enanga said a  team of bomb experts had been dispatched to Lungala, along the Kampala-Masaka highway, after a deadly explosion occurred on a bus belonging to Swift Safaris Bus company.

Enanga noted that the bus  registration number UAU 989T,  was hit at around 5pm . "The bus was traveling from Kampala to Bushenyi. Several other victims including injured persons being evacuated from the scene," Enanga said.

Enanga said the scene had been cordoned off pending a thorough assessment and investigation by the bomb experts.

Police said they would periodically give updates surrounding the incident.
