RAZDOLNY , Russia, Sept. 4 (UPI) -- Russian authorities plan to destroy at least 22,000 chickens at a poultry farm where 500 birds died of bird flu, it was reported.
Prosecutors may seek criminal charges against the operators of the farm in Razdolny, in southern Russia's Krasnodar Territory, RIA Novosti reported Tuesday.
The outbreak of lethal H5N1 virus was reported to authorities Sunday after birds had already died, RIA Novosti reported.
An outbreak of bird flu in poultry was reported last month in the Chelyabinsk Region, in Russia's southern Urals.
Bird flu has killed 192 people around the world since 2003, primarily in Indonesia and Vietnam, said the World Health Organization.
