This week saw a confluence of dramatic events across Europe and beyond. Severe wildfires ravaged numerous countries, prompting emergency responses and widespread destruction. In Japan, a devastating earthquake claimed the lives of dozens, adding to the week’s toll. Unexpectedly, record-low water levels in Bulgaria revealed the remarkably preserved remains of a woolly mammoth, offering a rare glimpse into the past. Simultaneously, the Spanish enclave of Ceuta experienced a surge of migrants attempting to enter, though most ultimately returned to their origin country. These events, captured in striking images, paint a picture of a week defined by disaster, discovery, and displacement. FRANCE 24 compiled these images to showcase the week's most notable occurrences.
