EU system for monitoring and informing on forest fires across the EU and neighbours
Tens of people are killed as wildfires in Almeria, Andalusia, burn about 7,000 hectares. Authorities confirm multiple nationalities among the victims, with UK nationals among those who perished. Fire is now under control, residents are returning home, and leaders call for stronger prevention measures against climate-driven blazes.
The National Energy System Operator has issued a margin notice for Thursday evening due to extreme European temperatures, marking the third such notice this year. The move signals a higher cushion between demand and supply, as heat drives up electricity use and strains generation.
A wildfire in AlmerÃa, southern Spain, has killed 12 people and burned thousands of hectares. Dozens remain unaccounted for as hundreds of firefighters and the Military Emergency Unit battle the blaze amid a heatwave.
