Skopje, 18 July 2024 (MIA) — There is no fire danger to any critical army facilities at the Krivolak military training ground, according to the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff of the Army in a press release following social media reports of a fire spreading at Krivolak earlier on Thursday.

According to the official press release, the fire has burned down some old buildings that were not of critical importance. 

"All army infrastructure of special importance is safe and secured," the release says, adding that these facilities "have fire security belts in the required width of more than ten meters."
