\n KAMPALA \u2013 Prisoners in a Ugandan jail overpowered their guards and 219 of them escaped with at least 15 guns, but two were killed after security forces launched an operation to recapture them, a military spokeswoman said on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The inmates escaped late on Wednesday from a jail in Karamoja, a remote, semi-arid northeastern region, said the spokeswoman, Brigadier Flavia Byekwaso.<\/p>\n

Before fleeing, they broke into the prison armoury and stole 15 AK-47 rifles, 20 magazines and other ammunition.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a mass escape \u2026 these were hard-core criminals,\u201d she said, adding they included murderers, robbers and rapists.<\/p>\n

A big security operation was underway to recapture them and two of the inmates had been killed in the pursuit while two were re-arrested, she said.<\/p>\n

The fact they had some weapons and a head-start of hours of darkness made the search more difficult, Byekwaso said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019ve had a whole night to disperse and hide, it complicates our efforts but we shall get them.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was Uganda\u2019s third prisoner escape since the outbreak of the novel coronavirus in March as fears of contracting the virus in cramped jails spurred inmates\u2019 efforts to break out.<\/p>\n

At least three cases of the coronavirus have been reported in Ugandan jails.<\/p>\n

The total number of inmates in Uganda rose 10% to 65,000 in the five months to August, according to the prisons service, a surge attributed to a large number of people app<\/a>rehended for violations of various anticoronavirus measures like curfews and travel<\/a> restrictions.<\/p>\n

Karamoja, a mountainous area on Uganda\u2019s border with Kenya, is also a mineral-rich region where both wildcat and large-scale miners dig for a range of minerals and metals including gold.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
