Indian authorities captured on Thursday one of three wolves that have killed six children and a woman in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh over the last two weeks.

More than 30 villages in the district of Bahriach, home to dense forest, have been attacked by wolves in recent days, said Akash Deep Badhawan, a senior officer of the Indian Forest Services.

During the summer, it’s common for villagers in India to sleep on mats or beds made from woven rope outside their homes where it is cooler, which made the victims vulnerable.

Three wolves were identified as the killers and were tracked with drones equipped with cameras and thermal mapping software. Authorities continue to pursue the other two wolves.
