An official said the district office issued the alert based on an initial witness report.
A second alert issued 20 minutes later said only three dogs had escaped from a farm and had been recovered.
The alert on May 8 from the Dong-gu district office in Daejeon followed a report from the civic emergency service that a caller had reported seeing “70 large dogs” roaming an area on the city’s outskirts. The official, who declined to be identified, said the district office had erred on the side of caution by issuing the alert based on the initial witness report, in case the animals proved to be a threat to the public.
