DUBAI: The United Arab Emirates said it has dispatched a firefighting aircraft to join efforts to extinguish wildfires in the Republic of Montenegro.

“The team is actively working to combat fires across multiple areas of the country,” reported state-run WAM News Agency. 

The aircraft departed Abu Dhabi on Monday for Podgorica carrying essential equipment and supplies.

The decision reflects the “solidarity of the UAE’s leadership and people with the government and people of Montenegro in addressing the unprecedented wildfire disaster,” WAM added.
