South Korea confirmed its first highly pathogenic avian influenza outbreak of the 2026/27 season at a layer farm in Yeoncheon, where about 91,000 birds were kept; an H5 avian influenza antigen was also detected at a duck farm in Jangheung. Authorities tightened controls at poultry-farming clusters and large layer farms, while the agriculture ministry announced a prevention-focused livestock disease response plan that includes expanded use of data and AI technologies.
