The United States embassy in Uganda has released a travel advisory urging American citizens to reconsider their travel plans to the country due to concerns over crime and terrorism.

The embassy specifically warns of potential terror attacks in Uganda and the surrounding region, following recent police and military counter-terrorism operations that led to the discovery of explosive devices in various locations within the capital city, Kampala.

A joint security team, comprising both police and military personnel, apprehended a 28-year-old individual and successfully recovered an explosive device. Their intervention thwarted a suspected suicide bombing plot targeting a church in Kampala. Since then, additional improvised explosive devices and materials for making bombs have been discovered in different parts of the city.
