South African National Parks says skirmishes broke out yesterday between their rangers and two groups of suspected poachers in the Kruger National Park.

One of the suspected poachers was shot, another was wounded and a third was arrested when SANPark rangers, assisted by the SA National Defence Force, discovered the poachers while on patrol.

SANParks says at least 138 rhino have been poached so far this year, but 82 people have also been arrested in connection with these incidents.
