On Saturday, a Land Cruiser was also attacked and 10 passengers killed.Two women escaped.
Another vehicle was also attacked on Saturday, on the road heading towards the Tanzanian border. It is not known what happened to the people inside – they have not yet been found.
All three attacks happened in the Mocímboa da Praia district and security forces are looking for the insurgents.
