An Italian nun, Maria De Coppi, has lost her life as a result of a suspected jihadist attack in northern Mozambique.
The attack led to the destruction of a church, hospital and two schools.
The deceased, aged 84, was shot in the head during the attack in the city of Chipene in Nampula province.
Maria De Coppi had been in the country for nearly 60 years.
A jihadist conflict began in 2017 and has recently spread from the oil-rich Cabo Delgado province to Nampula.
The Comboni sisters said two other nuns, one Italian and one Spanish, had escaped to hide in the forest with a group of young girls.
