Large forest fires have been raging since Monday on two former military training grounds in the northern German state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The strong wind fanned the flames in the bone-dry forest area. Extinguishing activities are further complicated by the large amount of old, unexploded ammunition on the site. Explosions are regularly heard, German media report. A village in the area has been evacuated.
