Islamic State in Mozambique has released a new photoset from their assault on the Mozambique Defence Forces in Mokojo, Macomia of Cabo Delgado. Dozens of soldiers were killed in the aftermath. #Mozambique
The army seems to have had an aerial support, the defence ended in a total disaster.
I published only a few photos of the whole gallery, with multiple beheaded bodies and at least 20-25 soldiers killed.
A massive loss.
Ghanima looted from the assault. A huge amount of supplies was seized.
And today Bloomber analyses the attack, calling it the most deadliest assault since 2021.
Grim prospect.
All amid French LNG giant recent plans to come back to the project they were forced to abandon during Islamic State's rampage. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
