German village residents evacuated over forest fire
Germany was hit today, Friday, by widespread wildfires that led to the evacuation of over two thousand people in the western part of the country, especially in the village of Gij near the border with Belgium. The flames, which spread across an area of approximately 300 hectares, threatened residents' homes and posed risks due to the presence of unexploded ordnance from World War II in the area. Residents have been taken to relief centers, and firefighting teams supported by military tanks are working to control the blaze, which remains out of control and continues to threaten the region, with explosions heard as a result of old explosive remnants.
