"Russian Emergencies Ministry aviation is eliminating a fire in the resort area of Antalya. Over the day, two Be-200 amphibious planes dropped more than 800 tonnes of water on the burning forests in the outskirts of Kemer, Antalya Province," the ministry reported on Telegram. The main task of Russia's pilots is to protect hotels and other infrastructure on the Turkish coast from the fire, the ministry added. The pilots have been working in heavy smoke and poor visibility in difficult mountainous terrain and have been taking water from the sea during waves. The ministry has earlier said that two Be-200 amphibious flying boats had been dispatched to Turkiye to assist in firefighting operations. Wildfires engulfed a mountainous area in Kemer on Monday evening. At least 11 planes and 22 helicopters are involved in battling the fire.
