Russia made significant progress in its fight against wildfires in the last 24 hours. Russia's Federal Forestry Agency (Avialesookhrana) announced that firefighting crews across the country fully extinguished 35 wildfires.
These interventions saved a total area of 13,505 hectares from the fire threat. The agency's data shows that firefighting efforts cleared these areas.
However, the wildfire threat persists across Russia's vast geography. The agency noted that as of midnight, 108 wildfires were still active in 10 different regions. Extinguishing efforts are ongoing over an area of more than 106,000 hectares.
