A fire broke out in the Şêxmend region and Dirêcê villages located west of Mount Shengal. The fire was brought under control in the early hours of the morning.

According to RojNews, the Autonomous Administration and the Êzîdxan Security are making great efforts to extinguish the fire. The Shengal Autonomous Administration called on the people of Shengal to reach the fire area and support them.

The fire had quickly spread to the Gêra Qîraniya, Milê Hasan and Xezalê regions. YBŞ-YJŞ fighters eventually managed to bring the fire under control.

Hundreds of trees, vineyards and gardens on the mountain were burned.

This is the second time this year that a fire has broken out on Shengal Mountain for an unknown reason.
