Wildfires rage in Syria's Latakia province, residents forced to evacuate

In Syria, Civil Defence workers are battling wildfires near the coast in Latakia province.
Officials say a surge in temperature and strong winds caused the wildfires to spread across large swathes of mountainous areas. Emergency crews faced difficulties controlling the flames and are concerned about unexploded ordinance scattered across conflict areas.

Al Jazeera's Montasser Abu Nabout reports from a village in Latakia region that has been evacuated.
