The incident was recorded by a security camera on June 24 in a village in Pu'er town (Yunnan province, China).

According to locals, six wild elephants "broke into" a house, ate corn and pig feed in the yard, then left.

It is known that the area surrounding the village is primeval forest, where elephants are often seen.

Villagers said they had long been accustomed to elephants appearing in the village, but the invasion of their homes was "unprecedented" and "extremely bold".

People often file insurance claims if property damage occurs.

Local authorities said they have used a dedicated app to closely monitor the elephants' activities, thereby giving timely warnings to people to ensure their safety.

Last year, a video captured the moment a wild elephant blocked the road, attacked and tipped a truck, leaving many witnesses shuddering.

The terrifying moment was captured by a witness on a road through the forest in rural Chachoengsao province (Thailand), showing a wild elephant blocking the road, then suddenly attacking a truck that had to stop to avoid the elephant in front.

The elephant used its head and trunk to ram and flip the small truck over without much difficulty. After the truck was flipped onto its side, the elephant continued to use its trunk to sniff around the vehicle, apparently looking for food inside.

People in surrounding cars were terrified when they witnessed the incident happening before their eyes and immediately turned their cars around to find a way to escape being attacked by the elephant.
