New satellite images from Maxar Technologies, which also showcased remarkable images of the devastation caused during the war in Ukraine, now clearly show the extent of the cyclone's impact. The images show the capital Mamoudzou, where schools, houses, hospitals, restaurants, and many other buildings have been reduced to rubble.

There are also images of the airport, the port area, and other parts of the city, all showing the devastation caused by the cyclone.
