A forest fire broke out at Babadag shooting range, at 13:00, on Friday, following activities done by French military, namely firing a 105 mm caliber cannon from armored cars, the Ministry of National Defence (MApN) informs.
According to the source, because of the strong wind, the fire extended beyond the trench that binds the shooting range on the South-East side, towards the localities Salcioara and Enisala. The fire also affected a sheepfold that was approximately 200 meters South-East from the shooting range, Agerpres.ro informs.
