flag Cyprus reports new foot-and-mouth case, culling 500 cattle amid EU-mandated herd destruction.

flag Cyprus confirmed a new foot-and-mouth disease case in a cattle farm in Dromolaxia, leading to the culling of about 500 animals despite efforts to cull only infected ones. flag This marks the second cattle unit affected, with 21 prior cases mostly in sheep and goats. flag Authorities, including the European Commission, mandated full herd destruction under EU rules. flag Over 500 personnel from 16 agencies are enforcing strict movement controls in affected zones, with fines up to €5,000 for violations. flag The government approved interim payments of up to €50,000 per livestock unit and is assessing long-term compensation. flag A special committee will review individual cases, and the country plans to import animals from disease-free regions after disinfection. flag No changes to dairy quotas are planned.
