The bodies of three UPDF soldiers who were killed in Somalia have been flown back into the country, the army spokesman, Major Felix Kulayigye has said.

 

The soldiers whose Identities have not been disclosed were hit on Saturday by a mortar by the Al Shabab militants in Somalia that also left one other soldier injured.

 

Major Kulaigye says the army will take care of their burial arrangements and said he could only reveal their identities after their next of kin had been handed the bodies.

 

He also adds that the injured soldier is still alive and the chief of Land forces General Katumba Wamala is in Nairobi to see him.
