The Ugandan government reported that local Ugandan defense units (this usually refers to village militias and police) defeated an attack launched by Rwandan Interahamwe Hutu rebels. The attack took place near the DRC border and near the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park. At least 20 Hutu rebels took part in the attack. A subsequent report confirmed that the Hutu force entered Uganda from the DRC.
