Residents returned to charred homes and incinerated vehicles on Croatia's Adriatic coast on Saturday after a fast-moving wildfire scorched over 1,000 hectares near the coastal town of Omiš, killing at least one person and forcing around 1,200 residents and international tourists to flee. Driven by gale-force winds and extreme Mediterranean heat, the blaze erupted near Lokva Rogoznica before sweeping toward residential communities, destroying properties and infrastructure in one of the region's worst disasters in recent years. Over 280 firefighters, supported by emergency aircraft and military assets, were deployed to contain the flames, while Prime Minister Andrej Plenković pledged full government support to assist affected communities along the Dalmatian coastline. #croatia #omis #wildfire #croatiawildfire #europeheatwave #naturaldisaster #breakingnews #worldnews #adriaticcoast #split #lokvarogoznica #climatecrisis In this Times Now World News report, we break down the this topic:
