A plane carrying American soldiers crash landed on a highway outside Uganda's capital Kampala on Friday, "miraculously" causing no injuries, security officials said.
The small plane carrying six soldiers from Entebbe airport to neighbouring South Sudan was forced to turn back due to bad weather and then land on a highway around 40 miles from the airport after running out of fuel.
"Nobody was hurt. There were eight passengers including the pilot and co-pilot," said Paddy Ankunda, Uganda's army spokesman.
He attributed the lack of casualties to Uganda being "full or miracles".
"Definitely there must have been a bit of luck. A highway is not a place for aeroplanes so they were lucky to find no vehicles," he added.
