The UK government has confirmed a new H5N5 bird flu outbreak at a poultry farm in Yorkshire, marking the second outbreak this year.

All poultry on the farm near Hornsea will be culled, and a 3-kilometre protection zone is in place.

DEFRA reports the virus spread follows similar outbreaks in Europe. The risk to the public remains low, but scientists warn about potential spread to mammals.
