Two siblings killed in elephant attack
Two minor siblings were killed in an elephant attack in the district's Ukhia upazila early yesterday.
The victims, Yasin, 7, and Shamsul Alam, 5, are sons of Nurul Islam of Madarbonia village.
Nurul said an elephant attacked his house around 4:30am and the tin-roofed house fell on his sons, who were sleeping at that time. His sons died on the spot.
He said they had been living in the village for long, but did not see any elephant before. As Rohingyas recently started living in forest areas, elephants lost their habitat and entered nearby villages.
