The day was dominated by the largest wildfire in Belgian history, with Dutch media reporting on evacuations and Dutch helicopter assistance. The fire in the Hoge Venen spread rapidly, leading to the evacuation of over 600 people and the deployment of two Dutch helicopters. This story overshadowed other developments, including the aftermath of the A59 fatal crash during farmers' protests, with police unions demanding more highway enforcement. International coverage focused on Ukraine's repatriation of nationalist leader Jevhen Konovalets from Rotterdam, while domestic stories included the one-year anniversary of Lisa's murder and questions about the use of €6 million in funds. The day also saw reports on the Taliban's strength five years after taking power and the US economy's warning signs.
