Yesterday evening, a sauna exploded at Buziga Country Resort in Makindye Division, leaving several people nursing burns and injuries.
Video footage circulating captured the chaos, with rescuers helping victims, including a woman who was severely burnt and rushed to the nearby Kiruddu Hospital.
Deputy Kampala Metropolitan Police spokesperson Luke Owoyesigyire confirmed the explosion, saying rescue teams had been dispatched immediately.
Eyewitness accounts suggest that at least eight people were injured.
Investigations at the time of the blast pointed to overheating of the steam bath boiler and a suspected faulty valve, which caused gas to escape from a sealed container, triggering a violent mechanical blast.
