The status of wild elephants injured in crude oil bomb explosion is not yet clear

A few days ago, the condition of the injury of an elephant injured in a forest bomb explosion near Jambuvaripalle in Bangarupalem Mandal continued.
According to information, an elephant is believed to be a member of a group of 14 animals, and suffered bleeding injuries when it tried to bite a thick bomb in a field adjacent to the forest. Forest officials found blood from the area. At the same location, a stray dog was killed after an explosive atmosphere. Forest officials said they had caught four thick bombs and detained 11 people. Farmers often use coarse bombs in the fields to prevent wild boars from destroying their crops, but they are also easily abused by poachers.
Against this backdrop, foresters are in darkness about the exact nature of the wounds received by the elephant in the incident. Additionally, it is difficult to spot injured animals when the injured giant moves with herd of 14 people. Regional forest officials told the media that it is not clear whether the elephant was injured in the jaw or foot. The official said a skeleton was found at the scene and was sent for inspection to determine which part it belonged to.
