Over the past 24 hours, Bosnia's Herzegovina-Neretva Canton recorded 18 wildfires, seven in Mostar, five in Capljina, four in Jablanica and two in Konjic, Fena news agency reported Sunday.

A BiH Armed Forces helicopter operated between 8:40 and 9:40 am at the Komadinovo Vrelo site in Jablanica, extinguishing fire on 8 occasions. A large number of transmission lines at that location aggravated the situation for the operation of the helicopter and its manoeuvring, which prevented any further operation.

In places where access to the fire was possible, firefighters from Jablanica worked throughout the day, and on Sunday morning at around 7 o'clock it started to rain making the situation stable, the HNK Civil Protection Operations Center reported.

Other fires, mostly burning grass, low vegetation, forests and garbage, were successfully localized.
