MAPUTO/MORONI—Cyclone Kenneth battered northern Mozambique on April 25 with gusts of up to 280 km per hour (174 miles per hour) after killing three people on the island nation of Comoros overnight.

Impoverished Mozambique is still recovering from another powerful tropical cyclone which made landfall further south last month, flattening the port city of Beira and killing more than 1,000 people across a swathe of southeastern Africa.
