Drones on duty after wolf attacks kill 2 kids

9 LIVES LOST IN 3 MONTHS IN UTTAR PRADESH DISTRICT

- BY STEPHEN N. R.

In a chilling series of incidents that have shaken Bahraich district in northern Uttar Pradesh, wolves have killed at least nine people most of them children over the past three months, prompting authorities to deploy drones, camera traps and armed teams to track the predators responsible.

The latest deaths occurred between Friday evening and early Saturday morning, when two young children a five-year-old boy and a 10-month-old girl were snatched and killed in separate attacks just hours apart. The incidents echo a growing pattern of unusually bold behaviour by wolves in the region, with attacks occurring not only at night, but increasingly in broad daylight.
