The explosion comes weeks after two foreign governments served warnings to security teams in Uganda over a pending terror attack in the country.
France and UK did not provide detailed information to justify the terror alerts which police downplayed.
The embassies called upon their citizens to be extra alert and vigilant as they go about their daily activities.
Ugandan security agencies have yet to confirm or give further details on the incident.
