Landslide in Uganda kills at least 31

31 people and a number of animals are dead after a landslide smashed a mountain in eastern Uganda.


At least 31 people have been killed when a landslide rolled down the slopes of Mt Elgon in eastern Uganda, wrecking homes and burying animals.

Martin Owor, Commissioner for Disaster Preparedness and Management, said the landslides tumbled down onto a small town on the mountain's slopes on Thursday afternoon.

The area, close to the border with Kenya, is prone to landslides and there have been several similar accidents in recent years.
