A wildfire destroyed nearly 1,000 hectares on the French-Spanish border on Sunday and early Monday, authorities said, as parts of southern Europe remain gripped by a drought that is raising fears of a repeat of last summer's exceptional conflagrations.
The blaze, France's first major wildfire this season, was brought under control early on Monday though not yet fully extinguished, Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said, adding one firefighter was slightly injured.
Some 500 firefighters were mobilised to fight the fire on Sunday evening, the regional prefecture said. Some 300 inhabitants were evacuated in Cerbere, with most able to return to their homes by Sunday evening, it added.
