Fires along the Russia-China border

Huge forest fires raged across Russia’s Amur region and China’s Heliongjiang region on May 30, 2006. The border between the two countries (shown also by the black line) is made by the Amur River (Heliong Jiang), and massive, smoky fires were burning on both sides.
