The incident took place in the early hours of last Thursday, very close to the village of Napala\u201d, said one source.<\/p>\n<p>Another resident, named Pinto Sai\u0301de, said that people have been going to Mucojo, but since last week the traffic has reduced in both directions, because in the Napala region they discovered the explosive devices on the road.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn that day, the victim\u2019s companions were also slightly injured, but they didn\u2019t suffer too much\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n<p>So far, it is not known who planted the explosives in that section, but it is believed that Islamist terrorists, who have been carrying out extreme violence in the region, are responsible.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/mozambique\">Mozambique<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mozambique.
