In North Korea, African swine fever virus was first discovered in May and has continued spreading there.

SEOUL - South Korea confirmed on Tuesday its fourth case of African swine fever at a hog farm in a town 40 km north of its capital Seoul, just a week after the deadly disease was first discovered in the country.

South Korea, Asia's fourth-largest economy, has raised its animal disease alert to the highest level following the outbreak and ramped up disinfection measures to try to keep the virus from spreading further. Kim also said the country would increase disinfection efforts in areas bordering North Korea, including in zones controlled by the military.
