In a poultry farm in Iraq's eastern province of Diyala, bird flu cases were detected, and necessary measures have been taken to curb the spread of the disease.

"We have informed the governor of Diyala and taken necessary measures to control the disease, including the culling of more than 4,000 chickens and closing the poultry farm for 90 days," al-Shammari said.
The rapid response of the veterinary hospital helped prevent the transmission to other areas, he added.
