Bangladeshi police say five people, including two children have been killed when a herd of wild elephants rampaged through a forest village.
Police say about 10 elephants also destroyed several huts and damaged crops before police firing blank shots chased them away.
The incident happened early on Thursday in a village about 350-kilometers southeast of the capital, Dhaka.
Elephants frequently damage property and crops in Bangladesh and northeastern India, where their natural habitat is rapidly shrinking because of encroachment by growing population.
Zahurul Alam has more on the story.
