A wild rhino has killed a woman and injured several other people in a city in southern Nepal. A wild rhino charged into a city in southern Nepal on Monday, killing a woman, injuring several others and chasing panicked people through the main market and a hospital.
Government administrator Ram Prasad Thapaliya says the animal entered Hetauda on Monday, terrorising residents. Teams with tranquilliser guns and elephants were on their way to the city to help contain the rhino. Attempts to force the rhino out of Hetauda city by honking car horns and beating drums were unsuccessful, with the animal running from one area to another, government administrator Ram Prasad Thapaliya said.
Thapaliya said the rhino killed a 61-year-old woman on the outskirts of Hetauda, a city of about 135,000 people that borders forests. An unknown number of people were injured. Teams with tranquilliser guns were on their way to attempt to capture it, he said.
