Military drills spark hundreds of wildfires in UK

Live-fire military drills in UK have caused 385 wildfires on Ministry of Defence (MoD) training sites since 2023. These fires, often exacerbated by unexploded shells, impact the environment and pose risks to nearby residents. Locals are calling for more preventive measures, such as banning live fire training during dry months, as the wildfires lead to smoke pollution and health hazards for those with conditions like asthma.
