Wolves Kill Eight in Northern India Attacks

In Uttar Pradesh, India, a pack of wolves has killed eight individuals, including seven children, over the past six weeks, prompting widespread panic among local residents. Following these attacks, authorities launched 'Operation Bhediya' to capture the wolves, deploying over 150 officials and utilizing drones equipped with thermal imaging. As of recent reports, officials have successfully captured four wolves from the suspected six, with the latest capture occurring on Thursday. The wolves' attacks have led families to withdraw children from schools, and many villagers are sleeping indoors out of fear. Authorities are employing various methods, including using dolls and elephant dung, to lure and deter the wolves. This unusual surge in wolf attacks has raised concerns, as such incidents are rare in India, where leopard and tiger attacks are more commonly reported.
