The system in question is the Army Tactical Missile System, ATACMS, known colloquially as “attack ‘ems,” with a range of about 190 miles.

Firefighters and EMS personnel responded to the crash and discovered that two women were killed inside the home.

On Tuesday, EMS Foundation, which advocates for the rights of wildlife, announced that after “a nail-biting four-hour trip to freedom” the elephant had arrived at his new home at the Shambala Private Reserve in Limpopo province.

It said the “historic event” followed years of negotiation with the South African government, after EMS Foundation and its partners provided scientific evidence to show that elephants suffer in zoos.

EMS Foundation said this was “inaccurate”.
