Wildfires in Spain and France have forced mass evacuations
in what is being described as some of the worst fires in recent memory.
NPR's Miguel Macias is following the story in Seville, Spain.
So far this year, well over 300,000 acres have burned in Spain compared
to an average of less than 250,000 acres per year in the past decade.
So this year is looking like a record-setting one.
And in France, 220,000 people have been evacuated as a single
fire gets as close as nine miles to the city of Bordeaux in the Hawaiian region.
That's NPR's Miguel Macias in Seville.
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky says his country has bombed a ship traveling between Iran and Russia
that was loaded with military supplies.
As NPR's Greg Meirey reports, the attack points to the links between the war in Ukraine and the war in Iran.
President Zelensky said Ukraine carried out long-range strikes in the Caspian Sea that included
hitting a ship that was, quote, transporting military cargo in cooperation with Iran.
The president did not provide details.
Russia and Iran both have a coastline on the Caspian and use the sea for trade.
Meanwhile, Iran condemned the Ukrainian attack on what it called an Iranian commercial vessel.
Have a history of military cooperation that includes Iran sending drones to Russia in recent years.
In separate remarks, Zelensky said Russia is providing military intelligence to Iran.
