Two bomb blasts in the center of Uganda’s capital, Kampala have left at least two people dead. Along with these, many have sustained severe injuries and also lost property, including cars.

A number of police officers are admitted in Mulago hospital's casualty ward where they are receiving treatment for injuries sustained after an explosion went off at the Central Police Station (CPS) in Kampala this morning. #NTVNews

One of the blasts happened very close to the Parliament and another happened near the Central Police Station. By press time, Parliament had started to be evacuated and many had already fled to safety.

The cause of the blasts is not yet clear but reporters said they saw two bodies clearly lying unconscious on the ground.

“First responders included Red Cross personnel who were using fire extinguishers to curb the fire on Parliamentary Avenue,” NTV tweeted.

Last month, Islamic State made its first claim of responsibility for a blast in Uganda. Apparently, the blast killed a waitress at a restaurant. Around the same time, Uganda police reported a suicide bomber who exploded on a bus, killing himself and injuring others.
