The Ugandan army has been conducting airstrikes against the Islamic State-linked Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) militants, who have carried out several attacks in Ntoroko.
President Yoweri Museveni has called for the activation of paramilitary local defence units to support the army in fighting the militants.
