Seventh rogue wolf killed in UP's Bahraich
In a place called Bahraich in Uttar Pradesh, India, a team from the forest department was trying to rescue a wolf that was part of a group that had been attacking people in villages.
The wolf was seen running towards a river, and when the rescue team couldn't catch it safely, they had to shoot it.
This was the seventh wolf killed in these operations.
The wolf attacks have caused many people to get hurt or die, so the team is still looking for more wolves and telling people to be careful.
The chief minister of Uttar Pradesh had visited the area earlier and said that the wolves should be rescued if possible, but killed if they can't be rescued safely.
A seventh rogue wolf was killed by a forest department team in Bahraich, Uttar Pradesh, after a rescue attempt failed.
The wolf was spotted near Birja Pakariya and Rohitpurwa villages in Kaiserganj tehsil on December 29 around 3:30 PM.
The wolf was an adult male, and its body was recovered and examined by veterinarians.
So far, 12 people have died and 32 have been injured in wolf attacks in the area.
The forest department is continuing patrols and advising villagers to take precautions, such as keeping children supervised and being vigilant.
