"We have so far confirmed 23 people dead in Mabono and Meru villages in Bulambuli district but we have only been able to retrieve 15 bodies. The landslide occurred at around 1 a.m. (11 p.m. British time) last night," Catherine Ntabbade, spokesperson for Uganda Red Cross, told Reuters.
Local media quoted officials as saying the death toll was expected to rise further.
