This is the best summary I could come up with:
The attack happened in the Queen Elizabeth National Park - one of Uganda’s most popular conservation areas - according to police.
“We have registered a cowardly terrorist attack on two foreign tourists and a Ugandan in Queen Elizabeth National Park,” police spokesperson Fred Enanga wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
Mr Enanga said police were pursuing suspected members of the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) - an armed group aligned with Islamic State (IS).
A spokesperson for the Uganda Wildlife Authority, Bashir Hangi, said the attack took place on the outskirts of the park on Tuesday evening.
The park is located in a remote area of Uganda, on the eastern bank of Lake Edward and near the border with the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
The ADF - a group considered a terrorist organisation by the Ugandan government - was originally formed out of western Uganda, but later expanded into the neighbouring DRC.
