Local authorities confirmed that an elderly woman has died as a result of the fire. The wildfire has affected 15 municipalities, prompting emergency responses and evacuation orders to protect residents.
The fire started rapidly and spread quickly across the region, making firefighting efforts difficult. Nine people have reportedly been injured. Authorities are working tirelessly to control the blaze and prevent further destruction.
