臨津江が豚の血に染まる

　African swine fever対策で一気に豚を47000頭ほど殺したようなのだが、その血が大雨のせいで臨津江支流に流れ込んで川が血色に染まったと。なお病気の拡大のおそれはないのだと当局は言う。

　…それにしてもね、絵面が悪いよ…。

BBC South Korean river turns red after being polluted with pigs' blood 12 Nov 2019

「A river near the inter-Korean border has turned red after being polluted with blood from pig carcasses.

South Korean authorities had culled 47,000 pigs in an attempt to halt the spread of African swine fever (ASF).

Heavy rains caused blood to flow from a border burial site into a tributary of the Imjin River.」

「A delay in the production of plastic containers used for burial disposal meant that burials could not be carried out immediately.」
