A fire broke out in the Vysokobirsky forestry at the beginning of the week. Its removal is complicated by dense forest mining.
The elimination of forest fires in the Vysokobirsky forestry of the Balakleysky forestry enterprise in the Izyum district of the Kharkov region is underway for the third day. As of Friday morning, its area was 983 hectares, the regional department of State Emergency Services reported on September 20.

The fire in the Vysokobirsky forestry broke out in the afternoon of September 17. Its elimination was complicated by dense mining of the forest.
Two days ago it was reported that in the Izyumsky district, due to the rapid spread of forest fires, it was decided to evacuate the residents of the village of Andreevka. At the time, there were 14 fires in the region.
Today it became known that Kyiv leads the world ranking in terms of air pollution. This is indicated by IQair tracking. The possible reason for the temporary deterioration of air quality is a fire in the ecosystem of the Kyiv region.
