La Siberia, per la seconda estate consecutiva, viene colpita dagli incendi, per via del caldo torrido e dei roghi che devastano questa regione della Russia nord-orientale. I cambiamenti climatici si fanno sentire in tutto il pianeta.

Le fiamme si sono avvicinate ai centri abitati di Namtsy e Yert, in Yakutia, dopo aver distrutto circa un milione e mezzo di ettari di bosco. Per cercare di domare i roghi, Mosca ha inviato squadre di soccorso, elicotteri e vigili del fuoco. Il ministro della Difesa si è attivato per aiutare le comunità locali. L’aiuto dei militari è arrivato dopo che i residenti hanno rivolto un appello al presidente Vladimir Putin.

Negli ultimi anni il Paese è alle prese con ondate di caldo senza precedenti. Lo scorso giugno, a Mosca, le temperature hanno raggiunto i 35 gradi.
