There are fires again in eastern Ukraine - a crown forest fire has spread to the village, and dry grass is burning near Stanytsia Luhanska.

In the Kharkiv region, a fire engulfed 400 hectares of coniferous forest in the Dvorichansky district. Later, the wind spread the flames to the village of Horbivka. Eight residential buildings burned down. Locals were evacuated by bus. 

The AN-32P fire plane was involved in extinguishing. There is a possibility that the fire will reach the neighboring village of Hryanykivka, where people are also being evacuated. And in the Luhansk region, dry grass, reeds and forest litter are burning on 80 hectares near Stanytsia-Luhanska.

There is a threat to the villages of Bolotene, Valuyske and Stanytsia Luhanska.
