Early on Wednesday afternoon, a group of villagers were attacked by bees as they approached the forest. Six seriously injured victims were moved to Kỳ Sơn District’s health centre while two others were treated at home. By that evening, all six patients at the health centre had showed signs of gradual recovery.

At 11am on Monday, local villager Kha Văn Hằng, 33, was also attacked by bees while cutting bamboo in the forest.

The victim was rushed to the health centre, but died of serious wounds.
