Two Children was died by Wild beast in Cox's Bazar

In the past, we heard that wild animal attacked in the eastern district in Bangladesh. Some times it destroyed the crops killed men’s life. On Wednesday, two children died by the attacking by wild best.

Reuters reported:

The victims, a boy and a girl, failed to escape when a herd of elephants swooped on their village near a forest at Ramu, 430 km (269 miles) southeast of the capital Dhaka.

The elephants also destroyed five houses, uprooted trees and demolished standing crops.

At least 15 people are killed by elephants in Bangladesh each year as their foresthabitats shrink due to encroachment by the rising human population, forest officials say.

One of the world's most densely populated nations, Bangladesh has forest cover of only 17.5 percent.
