Residents in the area have been urged to exercise extreme caution, restrict movement, and promptly report any suspicious activity to security agencies as authorities intensify efforts to contain the situation.
Security operatives, including the police and military, have reportedly begun deploying reinforcement teams and increasing patrols across strategic locations to restore calm and prevent further escalation.
The latest unrest comes just days after a deadly attack on Angwan Rukuba community, which left several people dead and led to the imposition of a curfew in parts of the city.

Authorities have also advised citizens to remain indoors where possible, avoid spreading unverified information on social media, and cooperate fully with law enforcement agencies to safeguard lives and property.
