Hundreds evacuated as wildfires sweep Turkey's western and southern coasts

Hundreds of people have been evacuated as wildfires spread across Turkey’s western and southern coastal regions. The blazes, which have impacted six provinces, have forced the closure of highways and prompted emergency operations in the Antalya and Muğla provinces, specifically within the Kaş district.

The fires are being exacerbated by extreme heat, which has helped spread the flames across the affected areas. Authorities are currently working to manage the situation as the fires continue to threaten communities and infrastructure along the coastline.
