NRA Attacks Ugandan Army Installation

February 6th, 1981 44 years ago

In a bold move, the National Resistance Army (NRA) launched a surprise attack on a Ugandan Army installation in the centrally located Mubende District. This marked a critical early engagement in the Ugandan Bush War, a protracted conflict that would reshape the nation over the coming years. The NRA operated under the leadership of Yoweri Museveni, seeking to overthrow the government of Milton Obote. The attack was characterized by ambush tactics and aimed to assert the NRA's presence in the region and gather military resources.
