Four People Injured in Grenade Attack in Rwanda

Four people were injured in a grenade attack on Saturday evening in western Rwanda’s Rusizi district, Rwanda National Police said on Sunday.

The four sustained minor injuries after an unidentified attacker lobbed a grenade at around 7:30 pm in Kamembe town, close to the border with eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DR Congo), the police said in a statement.

Security organs have launched investigations to bring those responsible to face justice.

Saturday’s attack comes two weeks after an armed attack close to the Volcanoes National Park in northern Rwanda, where at least 14 people were killed.

In 2013, a grenade attack in the Rwandan capital Kigali killed three people.

Earlier that year, a similar attack on the Kimironko taxi park in the capital left one person dead and eight wounded.
