The Manica provincial police spokesperson, Elsidia Filipe, said the raiders burnt down three houses, placed barricades on the road, and stole livestock from local farmers.
Later in the day, the police were able to recover 25 head of cattle and 30 goats. They removed the barricades, and movement in the village returned to normal.
Filipe said that nobody was killed or injured during the attack.
