The police in the Kunene Region have successfully contained the severe wildfire that impacted the areas of Werda, Onguta, and Omuheke within the Sesfontein Constituency.

Chief Inspector Vehangaiza Hindjou, Head of Community Affairs in the Kunene Region, gave an update on the situation to NBC News.

The continuous raging fire in the Etosha National Park has destroyed approximately 30% of the grazing land.

A media statement signed by Acting Vice President Lucia Witbooi indicates that no state of emergency has been declared yet, and a decision will be taken once all information is obtained.

A wildfire broke out outside Etosha National Park on Monday this week, and it has now entered the southwestern part of the park.

Since its outbreak, the fire has continued to burn with great intensity, fuelled by strong winds and extremely dry vegetation.
