In an unexpected attack on farmers harvesting their crop in a community in the Macomia region of northern Cabo Delgado province, elephants killed five people.
Two children and a lady are among the victims.
Others who survived the elephant attacks eventually came back to see their relatives' crumpled bodies.
According to local accounts, the victims are recent residents of the village who had previously been displaced.
Since 2017, a terrorist insurgency that has driven hundreds of thousands of people from their homes has been centered in Cabo Delgado.
Although the Macomia neighborhood is close to the Quirimbas National Park, there haven't been any elephant attacks in years, including during the time of the terrorist attacks.
According to police spokesman Mário Adolfo, "this is a scenario of conflict between humans and wildlife," adding that the victims were not in a protected area.
