Amidst the persisting violence in Palma district in 2021, individuals who sought refuge in Pemba last week recounted an alarming development. As the conflict escalated at the outskirts of Palma town in late June, insurgents reportedly pillaged significant arms caches from two makeshift government barracks located on the town's periphery. These barracks had been deserted by government forces during previous insurgent assaults in the region. This recent acquisition of weapons supplements the already considerable arsenal that insurgents have managed to procure from government outlets.

In April 2021, fires continued to ravage Palma, witnessing several incidents of buildings and homes being set ablaze on the nights of April 26 and 27. On the second night, a mosque fell victim to the flames. While some reports pointed fingers at government forces for certain house burnings, multiple sources informed Zitamar News that the insurgents were primarily responsible for the majority of the arson. Locals revealed that insurgents notified civilians about targeted areas slated for burning, providing them with a deadline to evacuate. The insurgents claimed that the destruction was part of their strategy to seize control of Palma town. By April 30, mobile phone service in Palma once again ceased, hampering the collection of reports from the area. Nonetheless, there were accounts of clashes occurring between insurgents and government forces within Palma.

On 27 March, the fourth day of the siege in the town, several more people were killed by the terrorists. Civilians were killed in the streets and in their houses; some of the victims were beheaded. A gas project was attacked too, and workers were murdered. About 200 foreign nationals fled to a local hotel to protect themselves, but the place was assaulted by the militants. A convoy conducted by Mozambican soldiers arrived at the scene to rescue the foreigners, but it came under fire. A South African man and a British civil contractor were confirmed killed in that attack, alongside 21 responding soldiers and several more people whose identity is unknown so far.

ISIL militants conducted a major attack on the town of Palma, following a loss of communication from the town. Militants first attacked the police station and then proceeded to rob the town's banks. A military source in Palma claimed 'government forces resisted but then had to flee' as the militants were using 'heavy weapons that they had not seen before'. Residential buildings were attacked too, resulting in the death of many civilians.
