Poachers kill 14 elephants with cyanide in Zimbabwe

Fourteen elephants have been poisoned by cyanide in Zimbabwe in three separate incidents, two years after poachers killed more than 200 elephants by poisoning, officials said.

Three elephants were killed in Matusadona National Park in the Kariba area in northern Zimbabwe and 11 more were found dead in two different spots in Hwange National Park in western Zimbabwe over the past two weeks, the National Parks and Wildlife Management Authority said.
