克罗地亚沿海地区周四晚间至周五早间爆发严重野火，造成至少1人丧生、约40人受伤，其中10人伤势严重[1]。大约1200名居民和游客被紧急疏散[1]。火灾从洛克瓦罗戈兹尼卡村附近开始蔓延，在4小时内烧毁1000公顷，向6公里外的旅游小镇奥米什快速推进[1]。
火势在强风的助长下，迅速穿过松林山坡地区[1]。超过300名消防员被部署参与救援行动[1]。克罗地亚火灾总指挥斯拉夫科·图查科维奇称这是"该国历史上最严重的"火灾之一[1]。总理普连科维奇表示火灾以"闪电般的速度"蔓延，消防员能救下如此多生命是"真是奇迹"[1]。
A major wildfire swept through Croatia's coastal region Thursday evening into Friday morning, leaving at least one person dead and approximately 40 others injured, with 10 in serious condition [1]. The blaze forced the evacuation of around 1,200 residents and tourists from the affected areas [1].
The fire broke out near the village of Lokva Rogoznica and rapidly advanced toward the tourist town of Omis, located approximately 6 kilometers away [1]. Driven by strong winds, the flames consumed 1,000 hectares of pine-covered slopes in just four hours [1]. More than 300 firefighters were deployed to combat the rapidly spreading blaze [1].
Croatian Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic characterized the incident as one of the most severe fires in the country's history, noting that it spread at "lightning speed" and that what firefighters managed to rescue was "truly miraculous" [1]. Fire Chief Slavko Tucakovic described it as among "the most severe" fires the nation has experienced [1].
