Mozambique s military says it has regained full control of the coastal town of Palma, more than a week after it was raided by militant Islamists.
A significant number of militants were killed in the counter-offensive, an army spokesman said.
State radio reported that residents who had fled were starting to return - some to homes that were looted.
Dozens of civilians were killed and at least 11,000 displaced after the militants invaded Palma on 24 March.
Communication with the town, which has a population of about 75,000, remains cut.
