Firefighters battled multiple wildfires across Serbia on Friday as extreme heat gripped the region. ⁣
⁣
Helicopters were deployed to water bomb a blaze cutting through forests in the Deliblato Sands nature reserve in Vojvodina, northern Serbia, an area that has already scorched at least 7 sq km.⁣
⁣
Locals in the village of Sumarak were evacuated as flames neared homes, though there were no reports of casualties.⁣
⁣
Near Kraljevo, further fires forced residents to evacuate, with locals reporting more than 600,000 sq m of pine forest destroyed within days.⁣
⁣
Europe, the world's fastest-warming continent, has been ravaged by record-breaking heat and destructive wildfires this summer, with France and Spain particularly hard hit – but problem right across the continent.⁣
