The helicopter was missing its main rotor blades, according to Flightradar24 data, the Russian Antonov An-124-100 aircraft left Eastern Europe on 24 September and headed back on 26 September.

In October 2017, terror attacks by a suspected armed Islamist group in the northern province of Cabo Delgado killed at least 39 people and left more than 1,000 displaced between May and July 2018. 

The Islamic State (IS) claimed responsibility for both attacks via its social media outlets.

The recent attacks in the southeast African country signals a growing presence of IS militants who have carried out similar attacks against the military and local residents in the Muslim-majority northern part of Mozambique.
