Ewha Womans University in Seodaemun District, western Seoul, has issued a campus alert after reports of a suspected wild boar sighting.
Fire officials launched a search following multiple reports of the animal roaming the campus over the weekend, but have yet to locate it, even as another sighting was reported at around 9 p.m. on Tuesday, the school said Thursday.
No injuries or property damage have been reported so far.
The university has posted a notice on its dormitory website on Monday warning of the possible wild boar sighting and urging students to evacuate to a safe place and report it immediately if they encounter the animal.
