Concerns in Urasar Over Forest Fire Spreading to Surrounding Forests

Residents in the Urasar community of Lori Province are worried that a fire that started in grassy areas may spread to the surrounding forests. According to the information provided to NEWS.am by the community, the blaze began in Shirak, continued towards Spitak, and then reached the villages of Urasar and Katnaghbyur.
