Update
People on online social media (mainly twitter) are mentioning magnitude (still unknown source) of 3.9 earthquake in Kampala area. We will report detail if we get official report from local (Uganda seismological agency) or international seismological agencies.
It is hard to find strong earthquake in Uganda. Remember 1966 Toro earthquake, with epicenter near the border between Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), to the south of Lake Albert. The very 1966 Ruwenzori earthquake killed 157 people.
