JAKARTA - Two regions in Russia announced the situation when summer forest fires spread amid extreme heat.
The governor of Siberia's remote Tuva region said the authorities were taking the move due to forest fires caused by extreme heat, strong winds, and dry thunderstorms.
Currently 23 forest fires have occurred in this republic. About 1,700 hectares were burned. Most of them occurred in inaccessible mountainous areas, Vladislav Khovalyg, head of the Tuva region, via Telegram reported by Reuters, Monday, July 1.
The weather agency estimates the heat will subside in the next few days, and rain is expected to fall in some parts of the region.
"But we can't rely on the weather, July as a whole is the most difficult month in terms of fire situations and we have to fight for every hectare of the forest," wrote Khovalyg.
