Hundreds of Birds Found Dead in Ukraine, Officials Suspect Bird Flu

Officials in Ukraine, so far free of bird flu, have sent experts to investigate the sudden deaths of more than 1,500 birds in the Crimea peninsula, the Agriculture Minister said on Friday.
“At the moment we have 1,621 dead birds. Tonight, the situation will become more clear,” Baranivsky told the station by telephone. “Measures are being taken. Experts have been sent there. If cases of any specific virus are found, further measures will be introduced.” The channel said the sale of privately raised domestic poultry had been banned in Crimea.
