People are once again fleeing Mozambique’s Mocímboa da Praia district in the violence-hit northern Cabo Delgado region after jihadists attacked a village on Monday.
Those leaving had returned to the area when it was cleared of insurgents by a joint force of Mozambican and Rwandan troops, according to local media reports.
The militants reportedly clashed with Mozambique’s security forces in Chitolo village, but there have been no details about casualties and the extent of destruction after the attack.
There also no details of the actual number of the people who have fled for their safety.
It comes as attacks by jihadists continue in several areas of Cabo Delgado.
On Sunday, several houses were torched and one person was found dead the next day in a village in Meluco district following an attack.
There have also been reports of confrontations between the jihadists and the army in Nhalidi area of Macomia district.
