A man was killed and two others were injured today when a herd of elephants attacked a village in Nepal's southwestern Bardiya district, police said.
The elephants from the Bardiya National Park, the country's largest national park, attacked Praseni village at 7 AM, the Himalayan Times reported.
The elephants struck when the area was engulfed in winter fog amid poor visibility.
A local resident was killed while two others injured in the elephant attack. The injured were rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment.
Police officials have been deployed in the area to control and send the wild elephants back to the forest, the report said.
Bardiya national park is the habitat for the wild Asian elephant and the greater one-horned rhinoceros.
