Fires in Gjirokastra, air support from Germany

The situation of fires in Albania remains critical, especially in the south of the country.

In recent hours, the most disturbing situations remain the area of Karabuun and Loungire in Gjirokastra, where the first victim was recorded.

In Dukat, the army is withdrawing from active shelters there to disperse to other areas. In Karaburun, the fire is already followed on the back of the peninsula.

A necessary resource reinforcement is coming from Germany. Air interventions seem necessary in the Gjirokastra area, where the most difficult situation is presented in the villages of Krina, Asim Zenel and Arsi Lengo, where measures are being taken to evacuate residents. /A2
