Islamic State-linked insurgents have launched a significant attack on the town of Macomia in Mozambique's Cabo Delgado province, marking their most audacious raid in over three years. The insurgents are reportedly blocking roads and establishing checkpoints throughout the region, with the battle ongoing. Mozambique's President Filipe Nyusi confirmed the attack, stating that the Mozambican army, supported by Rwandan forces and aerial assistance, is actively engaged in combat against the insurgents. The southern African mission in Mozambique is set to conclude in July, although some troops will remain due to concerns about the resurgence of the jihadist insurgency in the area.
