Does this Video Show a Truck Throwing Rats Onto a Road to Spread Hantavirus?

Accounts on X circulated a video showing a truck driving along a road while dozens of rats appear to jump from its rear, as the scene is filmed by the driver of a car traveling behind it.

Users sharing the footage claimed the rats were deliberately released to spread Hantavirus infection, which has recently drawn widespread attention following reports of infections and deaths aboard a Dutch vessel.
