Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has said that joint military operations launched in neighbouring South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) have defeated insurgents in both countries.

In a statement posted on his official X account late on Saturday, Museveni said the country's army, the Uganda Peoples' Defence Forces (UPDF), supported the armies of the two neighbours to defeat the insurgents.
