The woman sustained head injuries but was not in danger of dying, hospital says

A military vehicle has mown down a woman in the Mozambican capital, Maputo, as protests grip the southern African country weeks after an election that the opposition said was rigged.

Videos of the incident on Wednesday that have been widely shared on social media showed an armoured vehicle speeding down a busy street into a makeshift wooden barricade attended by protesters and plastered with a picture of the opposition leader, Venâncio Mondlane, who claimed he won the 9 October election, and then driving over the woman.
