European Union and Russian aircraft have been deployed to help Serbia fight severe wildfires that have spread across parts of the country.
The aircraft are assisting Serbian firefighters by dropping water on areas affected by the flames, while ground crews work to contain the fires and protect nearby communities.
The wildfires have been fuelled by high temperatures, dry conditions and strong winds, making firefighting operations more difficult.
Serbian authorities have welcomed the international assistance as emergency teams continue efforts to prevent the fires from spreading further and to protect homes, infrastructure and residents.
