S. Korea detects 4th swine fever case, urges North to cooperate

SOUTH Korea confirmed its fourth case of African swine fever today, as Pyongyang has yet to respond to Seoul’s request to make joint efforts to tackle the deadly animal disease.

The latest case was confirmed at a farm in Paju, a city near the inter-Korean border where the nation’s first case was recorded, according to Seoul’s agriculture ministry.
