Could be (another) massive birdstrike. There is a large bird sanctuary close to Entebbes runway. At dawn the inhabitants go and find breakfast and take it back to the now warming runway to consume as it's a nice place to be. It's always been a problem but eases off after about 1000 when its too hot for the birds to sit around in the sun.
