A tourist from Britain, another from South Africa and their local guide have been killed in an attack on a tourist vehicle near a Ugandan national park, according to wildlife authorities

A tourist from Britain, another from South Africa and their local guide were killed in an attack on a tourist vehicle near a Ugandan national park, according to wildlife authorities. Unknown assailants set the victims' vehicle ablaze Tuesday along a road by Queen Elizabeth National Park, located in a remote area of southwestern Uganda near the Congo border. The park is one of the most popular conservation areas in the east African country.

Ugandan authorities say hundreds of ADF rebels have been killed in airstrikes in recent months. Thomas Tayebwa, deputy speaker of the national assembly said on social platform X, formerly known as Twitter, that the attack “is barbaric and must be condemned in the strongest terms possible.” The ADF originated in Uganda but later was forced to flee to eastern Congo, where it is accused of carrying out multiple attacks targeting civilians.
