Aggressive red fire ants found at Kobe port

Photo taken from a Kyodo News helicopter on June 18, 2017, shows a container yard at Japan's Kobe port, where about 100 red fire ants, originating in South America, have been found. People can develop anaphylaxis when stung by the ants, but the local government said there was no need for concern as the nearest residential area was located 2 kilometers from the container yard.
