A Russian official has claimed that recent outbreaks of African Swine Fever (ASF) in the country were not accidents, but deliberate acts of biological terrorism aimed to undermine the development of pig production in Russia.
Alexander Tkachev, governor of Krasnodar Territory one of regions at the centre of the outbreaks said: Almost simultaneously, ASF outbreaks have been reported in facilities in the Ust-Labinsk, Krasnoarmeiski, Kalininsky, Korenovsky and Seversky districts of the region.
