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]

Moose calf rescued from wildfires in Chornobyl exclusion zone
Firefighters rescued a red-listed moose calf while battling a wildfire in the Chornobyl exclusion zone as wildfires spread across northern Ukraine.

The frightened animal, separated from its mother during the fire, was found by emergency crews during firefighting operations. After receiving water and veterinary consultation, the calf was transferred to environmental specialists for care. The rescue comes as more than 1,100 hectares have burned in the Chornobyl zone, where dry weather, strong winds, and mine contamination left from Russia’s occupation continue to complicate firefighting efforts. Across four Ukrainian regions, emergency crews are battling nine major wildfires covering over 2,000 hectares. In some areas, mines and the threat of Russian shelling prevent firefighters from accessing burning forests. “News reports talk about hectares, but each of them is thousands of lives,” Ukrainian animal rights group UAnimals said as fires continue to devastate wildlife habitats and protected ecosystems.
