H5N6 highly pathogenic avian influenza was discovered in two dead cats in Pocheon - South Korea.  
The cats were found dead earlier this week some 2 kilometers from a chicken farm where the strain of the virus was first reported last month. 
It marked the first infection of AI in mammals in South Korea since February 2015 when the country reported the infection of avian influenza in a dog.
