JOHANNESBURG—The coastal city of Beira in Mozambique, which houses one of the country’s most important ports, has seen mild damage to property and flooding after tropical cyclone Eloise made landfall early on Saturday, an official said in a television report.

The cyclone has since lost its strength and has been downgraded to a tropical storm, according to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).
