Active fires in Ukraine
Satellites detected 181 thermal hotspots in Ukraine in the last 48 h, grouped into 82 fire clusters. 1 cluster reached an intense fire radiative power above 100 MW.
The most active fire is remote Luhansk, 181 km NE of Luhansk with 11 detections and a peak of 117 MW, last seen Sun 1:13 pm local time.
By region, Donetsk has 31 clusters (70 detections), Luhansk has 20 clusters (56 detections), Dnipropetrovsk has 10 clusters (18 detections).
Fires are assigned to the country of the nearest listed city, so a fire close to a border can appear under the neighbour.

Official information
The European Forest Fire Information System, EFFIS (forest-fire.emergency.copernicus.eu), maps fire danger and burnt areas; evacuation orders come from the national civil protection authority and local police.
Satellite thermal hotspots are not all wildfires: gas flares, steel works, volcanoes and planned agricultural or prescribed burns show up too. VIIRS passes over most places about twice a day, so a fire can start or grow between passes, and thick smoke or cloud can hide one.
