The Battle of Mutukula (Kiswahili: Mapigano ya Mutukula) took place from 21–22 January 1979 near and in the town of Mutukula, Uganda, during the Uganda–Tanzania War. After repulsing a Ugandan invasion of the Kagera Salient in 1978, Tanzanian commanders feared that Ugandan forces stationed upon the high ground in Mutukula, a town located along the Tanzania–Uganda border, still posed a threat to their territory. On the night of 21 January 1979 the Tanzanian 208th Brigade crossed the border and surrounded the town. The following morning it attacked, and the Ugandan garrison—including the Gondo and Suicide Battalions—fled. Afterwards the Tanzanians razed the locale in revenge for the damage wrought by the Ugandans in Kagera.

  • Битва за Мутукулу — второе сражение между армиями Танзании и Уганды в рамках Угандийско-танзанийской войны, произошедшее 21—22 января 1979 года. Стало ответной реакцией Армии обороны Танзании на угандийское вторжение в провинцию Кагера. В этом небольшом сражении бригада Танзании под командованием Мвита Марва одержала решительную победу над двумя батальонами Уганды под командованием Йесуфа Бананука и Бернарда Рвехуруру. Разгромив гарнизон города, танзанийцы разрушили и разграбили значительную часть города в отместку за аналогичные действия в провинции Кагера. (ru)
