According to reports, the helicopter, which was allegedly operated by private military contractors, crashed as a result of small arms fire by militants.
During the past months, ISIS terrorists have drastically increased their activity in Mozambique’s Cabo Delgado province. Terrorists carried out a series of successful attacks temporairly capturing several villages and capturing a lot of weapons. In own turn, government forces seem to be unable to properly react to the threat and contain the growth of the terrorist threat.
If the situation develops in this direction and further, there are significant chances that the terrorists will be able to seize at least a part of the province and consolidate control over it.
