SEOUL, South Korea — South Korean officials said Monday they have killed all poultry in Seoul, the capital, to curb the spread of bird flu following a new outbreak of the disease in the city.
Quarantine officials destroyed 15,000 chickens, ducks, pheasants and turkeys raised in farms, restaurants, schools and homes, said a government official.
The slaughter began Sunday night after authorities confirmed Seoul’s second outbreak of bird flu in less than a week. Monday night, tests confirmed it was caused by the deadly H5N1 virus.
