A major wildfire has broken out on the Croatian island of Brač, with strong winds pushing the flames towards the municipality of Milna and prompting an urgent response from emergency services.
The blaze has been driven by difficult weather conditions, with strong winds making it harder for firefighters to contain its spread. Authorities are closely monitoring the situation as the fire approaches populated areas. Firefighting crews and other emergency services have been deployed to battle the flames and protect homes and infrastructure.
The situation remains particularly challenging because changing wind conditions can quickly alter the direction and intensity of the fire.
The wildfire comes amid a period of continued fire risk across parts of Croatia and Dalmatia, where several major fires have affected coastal areas and islands in recent weeks. Smoke from fires in neighbouring Bosnia and Herzegovina has also recently reached the Croatian coast, affecting air quality in parts of Dalmatia.
