A huge fire broke out between the neighborhoods of Shinata Al-Fawqa and Shinata Al-Tahta in the town of Deirbla in the upper Batroun region in northern Lebanon. The fire quickly spread to the outskirts of homes and consumed areas of grass cover, trees, and “forests,” according to media reports.
According to what was reported in Lebanese newspapers, civil defense teams have been working since the outbreak of the fire to contain it and prevent it from spreading towards residential areas, amid the spread of heavy smoke that has covered the surrounding air.
Reports indicated that efforts are continuing to control the fire in light of the difficult terrain and the dryness of trees and grass in the area.

Earlier, a huge fire broke out in a coastal city in southern Japan, destroying more than 170 buildings and killing one person, while military and firefighting aircraft rushed to participate in extinguishing the largest exclusive fire the country has witnessed in nearly half a century, according to Reuters.
Aerial footage broadcast by the media showed houses reduced to rubble, and thick columns of smoke rising over the mountainous Saganoseki area in the city of Oita, overlooking a fishing port famous for its high-quality Seki mackerel.
