Huge fire breaks out in southern Saudi forests

SANAA, Oct. 22 (YPA) – A huge fire broke out on Wednesday in Province of Tanuma in Asir region, Southern Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

The Saudi Civil Defense said that its teams in Tanuma “started a fire in a rugged area in Jabal Ghulamah, where the strong winds contributed to its spread,” noting that its units are working to besiege the fire.

Activists on social media circulated video footages showing widespread flames caused by the fire, with smoke rising in the forests of Jabal Ghulamah between Al-Namas and Naumah, while fire engines were operating at the site.
