People watch as a Russian Ilyushin Il-76 firefighting aircraft operated by Russia's Ministry of Civil Defence, Emergencies and Disaster Relief (EMERCOM) flies over a wildfire while dropping water in Deliblatska Pescara (Deliblato Sands), near the village of Grebenac, some 70 kilometres northeast of Belgrade, Serbia, on August 20, 2026. Firefighters were battling wildfires across the Balkans as days of high temperatures and drought conditions continue to drive blazes in several countries, including Serbia. The aircraft arrived in Serbia on August 19 to assist efforts to contain wildfires in Deliblatska Pescara after days of intense blazes fuelled by prolonged hot and dry weather. Capable of dropping up to 42 tonnes of water in a single sortie, the Il-76 is operating alongside helicopters of Serbia's Interior Ministry and the Serbian Armed Forces. (Photo by Uros Arsic / AFP)
