The authority said on its website that the Hungarian team of 46 people and 13 vehicles had arrived in Skopje after midnight on Thursday.

Following a few hours of rest, six members of the team moved to the base of the North Macedonia Protection and Rescue Directorate to coordinate activities with the rest of the team, and local and other international firefighters.

The remaining 40 people and 9 vehicles travelled to Breznica where they joined the operations cutting trees in an effort to stop the spread of the wildfire to buildings.

No extraordinary events have been reported so far, with all members of the Hungarian team getting medical support from an ambulance officer and two assistants of the Hungarian Ambulance Service.
