Firefighters are making every effort to extinguish the fire."  

Details: Authorities emphasised that the situation is complicated by the high likelihood that the areas affected by the fire may still not be cleared of mines.  

Until air quality improves, residents are advised to keep their windows closed and avoid going outside unless necessary.
