On June 27 in Pu'er, Yunnan Province, an adult wild elephant, angered by firecrackers, broke through an iron gate and entered a local resident's home.

Initially, the elephant was temporarily driven away after villagers shone flashlights into its eyes. However, it soon returned—this time bringing along two other adult elephants and two calves—re-entering the residence.

Fortunately, no one was injured. The elephant group did not harm any people but caused widespread damage to household items and furniture.

Experts have issued a warning to the public: do not use firecrackers or other means to scare wild elephants, and never attempt to drive them away. In such situations, people should quickly seek shelter in a safe or sturdy building and immediately call emergency services.

6月27日，云南普洱。一只成年大象在被鞭炮激怒后，撞坏铁门闯入村民家。

野象被村民持手电筒光晃眼后暂时离开，但不久后，这头大象返回并带领2头成年大象和2头小象再次进入村民家。

所幸象群并未伤人，只是将家具物品掀得一片狼藉，村民未受到身体伤害。

专家提醒公众，勿采用放鞭炮等方式惊扰野象，不要尝试驱赶它们。在遇到类似情况时，应迅速到安全处或坚固建筑内躲避，并立即拨打110报警。
