• Authorities report no Galicia fires over 10,000 hectares remain out of control, yet active fronts persist, including about 4,700–5,000 hectares near Carballeda de Valdeorras and new evacuations in Sanabria.
• Nationwide burning has surpassed 400,000 hectares by satellite estimates, with Ourense the hardest-hit province and ongoing strain reported in León, Zamora and Asturias.
