Emergency crews in Albania are battling massive wildfires near the capital city of Tirana, with severe blazes on Mount Kruje forcing overnight evacuations across populated villages. Minister of Interior Affairs Besfort Lamallari urged residents to cooperate with police and evacuate immediately as high winds and steep terrain complicate firefighting operations. Police have arrested a man suspected of igniting the fire by burning dry grass near his residence, while multiple blazes across Mallakaster, Finiq, Gramsh, and Vlore have resulted in at least one death and eight injuries. International assistance has arrived, with the UAE deploying two Black Hawk helicopters to drop over 1,200 tonnes of water on critical hotspots alongside international air crews to assist ground teams battling extreme summer heat. #albania #wildfires #tirana #breakingnews #worldnews #topnews #geopolitics #uae #blackhawk #europe #usnews #ctvnews In this Times Now World News report, we break down the this topic
