Chile is battling one of its most severe wildfire outbreaks in recent years as fast-spreading fires engulf large forest and residential areas, forcing mass evacuations and causing extensive damage. The government has deployed army units, firefighters, and aerial water-bombing teams to control the situation, while emergency shelters have been opened for displaced families. Officials confirmed multiple casualties and warned that dry weather and strong winds are worsening the crisis. Environmental experts say prolonged drought and rising temperatures are key factors behind the increasing intensity of wildfires in the region.
