KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) — Gunmen carried out 13 coordinated attacks against security forces near Uganda’s border with Congo but were repulsed before they could overrun a strategic barracks, Uganda’s president said Tuesday.

President Yoweri Museveni, who has held power since 1986, said the attackers used guerrilla tactics and looted weapons from soldiers and police in two western districts. Attacks were foiled in a third district, he said.
