Forest fires continue to rage in the Kharkiv region. Currently, about 14 locations in the region are on fire, most of them in areas that could be mined. However, the situation is under control. This was stated by the head of the Regional State Administration Oleh Syniehubov on Tuesday, UNN reports.

According to the head of the RMA, the reasons for covering so many locations are a significant amount of flammable dead wood; unkempt houses with backyards, fewer fire alerts due to fewer permanent residents, and difficult working conditions for rescuers.
Round-the-clock headquarters and observation points have been deployed in the region, including drone surveys. Fire trains are on duty.
"The situation is difficult, but under control," Sinegubov said.
Agricultural machinery was used to counteract the spread of the fire.
According to the head of the RMA, there is a constant detonation of shells in some areas.
