🔥 South Korea Battles Worst Wildfire Disaster
South Korea is grappling with its most devastating wildfire, which has claimed at least 28 lives and scorched over 38,000 hectares—surpassing the country’s previous record from 2000. The largest fire, originating in Uiseong county, has destroyed homes and historic sites, burning an area nearly half the size of Singapore.
Authorities have deployed over 120 helicopters, with the military supplying aviation fuel to sustain firefighting efforts. Experts link the fire’s intensity to rising temperatures and drier conditions, exacerbated by climate change.
