Firefighters battled a wildfire fueled by strong winds in the Lokva Rogoznica area south of Omis, Croatia, as flames spread through grass, low vegetation and pine forest.
The blaze damaged several buildings and forced people to evacuate, while a major coastal highway was shut due to the fire. Emergency crews worked to contain the flames as shifting winds made firefighting more difficult. The wildfire comes amid a summer of intense heat and drought across Europe, with dry vegetation increasing the risk of fast-spreading fires. Croatia’s Dalmatian coast has been among the areas affected, as authorities continue to respond to wildfires during the peak holiday season.
