Firefighters have successfully contained a fast-moving wildfire in southern France that forced hundreds of people to evacuate and destroyed several homes, officials said.
The blaze swept through parts of southern France, prompting emergency evacuations as firefighters battled the flames with ground crews and aerial support.
Authorities said the fire has now been brought under control, although emergency teams remain on the scene to monitor hotspots and prevent flare-ups.
The wildfire damaged homes and scorched large areas of land, but officials have not yet released a final assessment of the destruction or confirmed the cause of the blaze.
The incident comes as southern Europe continues to face heightened wildfire risks driven by hot, dry weather, with authorities urging residents to remain vigilant as firefighting efforts continue.
