Croatian army sends water tankers to villages around Vrgorac due to drought

started October 9, 2026 at 6:54 PM · last changed 2d ago

Summary

Due to drought and water supply problems in villages around Vrgorac, Croatia's defence ministry decided to deploy army water tankers after the mayor confirmed the town itself has normal supply while around eight villages face intermittent cuts; the city set up water tanks in six settlements and published a weekend distribution schedule, with additional help from fire brigade tankers from Split-Dalmatia County.

This summary was written by a language model from the 2 sources listed below.

  • Place

The model names places and sections as the sources do; every point comes from Vidik’s register of places and sits at the centre of the named place, not at an exact location. A section is marked on the road itself when the map knows its number (A1, M-17); otherwise it is a dashed line between its ends. A name the register does not recognise is not drawn. Colour shows the event’s severity.
