Thousands of residents in northern Japan were forced to evacuate their homes due to wildfires that engulfed forest areas. These fires are considered the most destructive in many years in the region.
The fire covered a vast territory, affecting forests and a reservoir that is a crucial resource for local inhabitants. The causes of the ignitions remain unknown, and firefighters are battling the flames to contain the spread of the fire.
"Our priority is to protect people and prevent further damage," emphasized one of the officials coordinating firefighting efforts.
