FRANCE SAYS GIRONDE ‘MEGAFIRE’ IS CONTAINED, AS WILDFIRES CONTINUE TO BURN IN GREECE AND SPAIN – EUROPE LIVE

A 'megafire' in the Gironde region of south-western France has been contained, according to French authorities. The blaze, which had been burning out of control, is no longer spreading, although wildfires continue to burn in Greece and Spain. This development comes as Ukraine reported a separate incident, where nine people were killed in Kyiv due to a Russian missile and drone attack.

According to The Guardian, the Gironde fire is no longer spreading, but other fires have reignited or been fueled by strong winds. Meanwhile, in Ukraine, the attack on Kyiv resulted in damage to seven districts, with residential buildings, a school, and infrastructure sites hit, as reported by Ukrainian officials. At least nine people were killed in the attack, according to AP News and BBC News.

The situation highlights the ongoing challenges posed by wildfires in Europe and the continued conflict between Ukraine and Russia.
