A major forest fire is active in Ukraine's Chornobyl exclusion zone, with flames spreading across more than 1,100 hectares of contaminated forest land. Minefields and unexploded ordnance are limiting access for emergency crews, while strong winds and dry conditions are driving the fire deeper into the zone. At the same time, Ukraine is facing a wider wildfire crisis, with large fires also burning in Zhytomyr, Chernihiv, and Rivne regions, pushing the total affected area past 2,000 hectares. Firefighters are operating with drones, robotic systems, and sapper support as they try to contain multiple large-scale blazes at once. 📹DSNS [Translated from EN to English]
