France deploys giant military cargo plane to dump tons of flame retardants as European wildfires displace more than 250,000
France deployed a military A400M cargo plane to drop flame retardants on wildfires in drought-affected regions, displacing over 250,000 people across Europe, including 70,000 in Spain. The fires, which killed one person in Manises, Spain, forced evacuations near Bordeaux and led to the shortening of the Tour de France’s final stage to redeploy security resources.
