Evacuations of 260,000 over fires in France and Spain
Fires broke out in France and Spain, leading to the evacuation of approximately 260,000 people—200,000 in France and 60,000 near Madrid—in the worst wildfires the region has seen. One person died near Valencia due to the fire, while French authorities enlisted the help of the military and military aircraft, including an A400M plane, to assist in extinguishing the flames, which have so far consumed 25,000 hectares near Madrid. This evacuation effort is the largest of its kind in France during peacetime, as intensive efforts to control the fires—now beginning to recede after extensive firefighting—continue.
