A South African man is among several abducted as insurgents attack a Mozambique hunting camp

A South African man was among several people abducted during an attack on a Mozambique hunting camp, according to South Africa’s foreign ministry. The attack, which is believed to have been carried out by militants linked to the Islamic State group, occurred in northern Mozambique’s Niassa province. The ministry confirmed that the 30-year-old man was one of five South Africans working at the wildlife reserve who were caught up in the attack, but did not provide information on the status or whereabouts of the other four citizens.

Mozambican police separately reported that at least 11 people, including children, were abducted during the attack, with one person killed and another slightly injured. The U.S. Embassy in Mozambique acknowledged the attack but did not comment further on the evacuation of three U.S citizens.
