KAMPALA, Uganda—Ten children have been killed in a lightning strike in a remote Ugandan town near the Congo border, Ugandan police said Friday.
The children, whose ages ranged from 9 to 16, were sheltering from the rain in a grass-thatched house when the lightning struck Thursday evening. They had been playing soccer in a nearby field, said Josephine Angucia, police spokeswoman in Uganda’s West Nile region.
