SEOUL ? South Korea on Sunday began culling almost 30,000 farm animals in a bid to contain the highly contagious foot-and-mouth disease following its outbreak two days ago, officials said.

Ganghwa county spokesman Bae Hung-Kyu said animals on 227 farms within three kilometres of contaminated farms would be killed.
