It was reported that 203 forest fires broke out in Turkiye between June 1 and 16. In the second half of the month, this figure reached 409 due to the sharp warming of the weather.

According to the General Directorate of Forestry of Turkiye, 1,563 fires were recorded across the country between June 1 and 30. Of these, 612 occurred in forest areas and 951 in agricultural areas. 499 of the forest fires spread from agricultural areas to forests.
