Defence and Security Forces in Nampula deactivated a Renamo base in the village of Napuco, Murrupula district, last weekend, recovering hospital supplies thought to have been stolen from various health units in Nampula.
“During the morning of the 14th October, a Defence and Security Forces brigade moved to Murrupula district, specifically Napuco, where it carried out an operation that led to the dismantling of a Renamo base. From the site were retrieved various goods which were stolen from health-care units,” Nampula PRM Provincial Command spokesman Zacarias Nacute told O País.
In addition to the medical supplies, the FDS seized 17 rounds of AK 47-type ammunition.
The FDS say that the operation was intended to restore order in the region, which has recently seen sporadic, localised attacks by gunmen.
The PRM spokesman said that the base was overrun only after a confrontation between the FDS and Renamo militia in which no-one was either hurt or detained.
