The attack took place on the main north-south highway, the EN1, at Longoze, Mopeia district, in Zambezia province.
According to the public postal service Correios de Mocambique, details of the attack are still being established. However, company spokesperson Vasco Jovo explained that the bus was shot at from both sides of the road as it was travelling at 80 kilometres per hour.
As a result of the ambush two women and a man received injuries.
In October 2014, the postal service launched an inter-provincial bus service which transports mail and passengers over eight routes.
