North Korean supreme leader Kim Jong Un has directed his officials to "eliminate" cats and pigeons as he believes they are spreading Covid-19.
The 37-year-old tyrant declared war on the animals, because he fears they are bringing the deadly virus across the border from China, reports Mirror.
Authorities in towns and cities along the border have been seen shooting at birds and searching for cats and owners who refuse to give them up, the British newspaper reported.
China is believed to be the country from where the virus spread across the globe.
Many countries have been witnessing several waves of the pandemic since last year.
