VTV.vn - 4000 pigs have perished as flood waters brought on by heavy rain surged through farms in Yen Dinh district, Thanh Hoa province. Most of the pigs drowned after an entire day of flooding.

Although local authorities and specialised units responded immediately, their efforts were not enough to save the pigs. Our reporter in Thanh Hoa says that all the pigs still remain in the area. In this morning's inspection, the Chairman of Thanh Hoa People's Committee directed authorities to rescue live pigs and bury the corpses, as well as to mobilise veterinary forces to disinfect areas and prevent pollution.
