10 Ugandan footballers killed by lightning

By Francis Otucu

A lightning strike Thursday evening killed 10 children in Arua.

The region has been experiencing severe rains coupled with thunder and lightning.

A heavy downpour on Thursday prompted the children to take a break from their football game and take shelter under a nearby grass-thatched structure.

The makeshift building was struck by lightning.

Nine children, between the ages of 13 and 15, died on the spot, and another died on the way to hospital.

Three survivors are receiving treatment at the regional hospital.

The dead had their bodies taken to Arua Regional Referral Hospital for postmortem. Regional Police spokesperson, Josephine Angucia said four bodies were taken by their relatives while six are yet to be picked for burial.
