Wildfires in western Turkey have raged for a third consecutive day, fueled by strong winds and high temperatures.

Over the past week, more than 130 fires have erupted across the country, with eight major blazes still active in the provinces of Izmir, Aydin, Manisa, Karabuk, and Bolu.

Thousands of firefighters, supported by aircraft and vehicles, are battling the flames. Although thousands have been evacuated, no casualties have been reported, CBS News has reported.

Authorities warn of a heightened wildfire risk due to ongoing weather conditions and have detained four individuals in connection with the fires.
