Firefighters battling a wildfire in Bohemian Switzerland National Park are gradually reducing the area affected by the blaze. The burned zone is now estimated at just under 100 hectares, though officials say the fire has not yet been brought fully under control.
The fire has been burning since Saturday between Rynartice and Dolní Chřibská in northern Czechia. Around 400 firefighters and more than 100 pieces of equipment are currently deployed at the scene.
Two Black Hawk helicopters from Slovakia are due to arrive on Monday, bringing the total number of aircraft fighting the fire to nine helicopters.
Roads near the affected area remain closed. Police have urged the public to follow instructions from emergency services and not enter the operational zone. A no-fly zone has also been imposed above the fire area, and several tourist trails remain closed.

Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met for talks in Yerevan on Sunday, on the eve of the summit of the European Political Community, which both leaders are due to attend.
They discussed further development of bilateral relations and prospects for cooperation in various sectors, also touching upon Ukraine’s ambition to join the European Union.
The Czech prime minister said Zelensky wants the war to end and stressed that peace talks must continue. He said that since Russia does not accept European leaders taking part in efforts to resolve the conflict, the Organisation of Turkic States could help. He noted that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has good relations with US President Donald Trump, while Central Asian leaders maintain ties with both Moscow and Washington.

The Convoy of Liberty drove through the west Bohemian city of Plzeň on Sunday within the Freedom Festival commemorating the end of World War Two and the city’s liberation by the US Army in May 1945.
As in previous years, crowds lined the roughly two-kilometre route, waving Czech, American and Belgian flags and holding sprigs of blooming lilac, the flowers with which residents also welcomed their liberators 81 years ago.
The place of honour in the convoy, and the loudest applause from spectators, went to two American veterans attending this year’s celebrations – 100-year-old Joseph Thurmond and 101-year-old Gideon Kantor.
Sunday’s convoy, showcasing some 300 pieces of historic military equipment, marked the end of the festival’s weekend program, which included historic military camps and cultural events. From Monday, a series of commemorative ceremonies will take place at monuments, memorials and plaques across the city, culminating on May 6 with the main remembrance gathering at the Thank You, America! memorial on Americká Avenue.

The safe was later discovered around 100 metres from the embassy in Nad Šárkou Street. Nothing was missing from its contents. The investigation was later suspended.
Police described the case as the most significant security incident involving diplomatic property in recent years.

The Czech Republic recorded its first summer day of the year on Saturday with temperatures crossing the 25 degrees Celsius mark. Temperatures on Sunday could climb to as high as 30 degrees Celsius, especially in the Polabí region, the Czech Hydrometeorological Office reported.
If that threshold is reached, it would rank among the earliest tropical days ever recorded in the country.
Data from 1961 to 2025 show that the first tropical day usually occurs around the 145th day of the year, i.e. in late May.
