“The first attack occurred near the check point to the Central Police Station, in Kampala at around 10.03am.  Footages on CCTV clearly indicate how a male adult, putting on a black jacket, and carrying a backpack detonated himself.  He died instantly and the spillover effect caused additional injuries to police officers and other civilians who were within a radius of 30 metres.  Two other people have been confirmed dead, while 17 others sustained injuries.  Those injured were within the section covering the point of impact and the front desk area at the Central Police Station,” Enanga said

The US embassy in Kampala has condemned the bombings in a tweet. The three deaths apart from the equal number of bombers died at Kooki House.
