It said the road leading to the Blace-Elez Han Border Crossing in both directions was closed to traffic due to the reignition of the fire that broke out last weekend on the North Macedonian side. The statement noted that measures are being taken in coordination with relevant institutions to extinguish the fire. Citizens were urged to avoid the area until the fire is extinguished and traffic returns to normal. Meanwhile, firefighting efforts are ongoing at a landfill site near the North Macedonian capital, Skopje, where a fire broke out midday.

The North Macedonian government declared a 30-day "state of crisis" across the country Monday because of the increasing number of forest fires.
