The Ministry of Defense calls on residents of the villages of Kullollas, Bletëz and Menkollarë in Gramsh to immediately evacuate their homes due to the flames of the fires that have surrounded the area.
"URGENT CALL! Due to fires, we call on the residents of the villages of Kullollas, Bletëz and Menkollarë to immediately leave their homes and cooperate with the authorities for safe evacuation."
Meanwhile, four helicopters have headed towards Gramsh to extinguish two massive fires, which pose a high risk and have forced authorities to order the evacuation of the villages of Kullollas, Bletëz and Menkollarë.
Currently, the villages of Kullollas and Bletez remain blocked by flames.
So far, no one can confirm if there are any injuries or casualties from the fire as the village is surrounded by flames.
Until the situation calms down enough to allow the fire department and ambulance to enter, no one is confirming the fate of the residents of these villages.
Currently, the teams that have gone by land to evacuate the residents of this area are blocked and unable to advance further.
Meanwhile, the Minister of Interior, Ervin Hoxha, and the Director of Civil Emergencies, Haki Çako, have also urgently left for Gramsh to closely monitor the operation to extinguish the flames.
