A forest fire on Italy’s Sardinia island forced the sea evacuation of 102 people, including 12 children and a pregnant woman. The blaze, driven by strong winds, spread from Villasimius to Punta Molentis beach. Tourists were rescued by the Cagliari Coast Guard, and emergency crews provided aid onshore. Authorities suspect arson as the cause.
