South Korea reports new bird flu outbreak
South Korea, grappling its worst outbreak of bird flu, has reported another suspected outbreak of the virus at a chicken farm in Ulsan City.
If confirmed, it would be the first in the southeast of the country,.
South Korea previously confirmed 20 cases of the H5N1 strain in poultry in less than one month, despite having killed more than five million birds.
No human deaths from the disease have been reported so far.
South Korea had to kill almost five and a half million birds during its first bird flu outbreak between late 2003 and early 2004.
The second outbreak in 2006-2007 saw about half that number culled.
