Coastal Croatian village Lokva Rogoznica faces wildfire evacuations and damage along the Dalmatian coast; residents adapt as authorities respond.
A severe wildfire has forced the evacuation of about 1,000 people in Croatia’s Dalmatian coast, with Omis and Lokva Rogoznica among affected areas. The blaze, fed by gale-force winds, has caused casualties and widespread damage as firefighters battle the flames through Thursday night and Friday morning.
France’s driest year on record has intensified wildfires across the Landes region and beyond. More than 500 evacuations occurred in Luglon as hundreds of firefighters battle spreading blazes. Similar fires are reported across the UK, Germany, Greece and Croatia, driven by unprecedented heat and drought linked to climate change.
