MAPUTO, Mozambique (AP) — Balloons floating 12 miles over northern Mozambique are planned to provide the remote and violence-prone region with stable internet connections, according to Google's parent company, Alphabet, and local mobile telecoms provider Vodacom.

The stratospheric balloons are expected to be over Mozambique in a few months to expand 4G internet coverage to Mozambique's Niassa and Cabo Delgado provinces. Loon, a subsidiary of Alphabet, recently launched similar balloons over parts of rural Kenya.
