Col Deo Akiki, the Deputy UPDF Spokesperson revealed that the two were traveling in a vehicle H4DF2588 and acknowledged that the military has been hit hard with another major loss, days after the death of Defence State minister Sarah Mateke Nyirabashisti last Saturday.
'How are we expected to understand this loss in such a short time?? A minister of state (Defence) Hon Sarah Mateke, Brig Gen (rtd) Kyambadde and our Director training and Doctrine for Land Forces Brig Gen Fred Twinamasiko in accident!! All gone just like that. May the Lord strengthen their families. It is a difficult moment. MHSRP,' Deo Akiiki eulogised.
Deo Akiiki condoled with the families of the two military officers who are facing difficult moments following the tragic news.
Reknowned Blogger Frank Mwesigwa has also condoled the tragic passing on of the two soldiers.
"Brig Gen (Retired) Kyambadde and Brig Gen Fred Twinamasiko who was director Training and Doctrine for Land Forces have lost their lives in a car accident on Masaka Road. My thoughts and prayers go out to their families, friends, and comrades during this difficult time. May their souls rest in eternal peace," he wrote on his X handle.
The Uganda government is yet to announce burial arrangements for the two fallen soldiers.
