Reports coming from Mozambique are that a Zimbabwean vehicle has been ambushed and bombed in Mozambique, in Bandula just after Manica.
The development comes as Mozambique is currently experiencing immense military and political tensions amidst insecurity, the threats of kidnappings and murders.
Sources across the boarder said that bloody clashes erupted early morning on Wednesday morning involving RENAMO and government. The clashes later turned nasty as sound of heavy artillery such as rocket loungers were heard and the massive destruction was witnessed. This also involved “bomb” raids on civilian vehicles.
Some sources claimed that the attacked Zimbabwean vehicle was carrying mercenaries. An allegation which could not be immediately verified at the time of writing.
The vehicle’s identity and that of the owner could not be ascertained at the time of going to press. A comment from the local police was neither possible. Efforts to get a comment from the government also failed.
