Two grenade explosions hit a bus parking lot in the city centre, according to seven eyewitnesses, while a third blast hit Jabe market in the Bwiza neighbourhood, according to another witness. On Sunday, a grenade attack in the administrative capital Gitega killed two, according to local media. It was not clear who was responsible.
Red Tabara, which has a base in South Kivu in DRC, was formed in 2011 with the aim of overthrowing the government, which it says does not respect the rule of law. It has been blamed for scores of attacks.
