Most of the Ugandan defenders fled Entebbe before the Tanzanians began their ground assault, leaving the defenses mostly in the hands of Libyan forces. The 208th Brigade seized town on 7 April, inflicting heavy casualties on the Libyans. Most of the Libyan troops subsequently withdrew from Uganda. The Uganda Army failed to hold a defensive line at Lubowa. The TPDF advanced into Kampala on 10April, with the 208th Brigade attacking from Entebbe. The capital was secured with minimal resistance the following day. Combat operations in Uganda continued until 3June, when Tanzanian forces reached the Sudanese border and eliminated the last resistance.
