Europe's heatwave causes infrastructure damage and animal deaths in Germany

France's National Public Health Agency confirmed approximately 1,000 excess deaths between June 24 and 26, coinciding with an extreme heatwave. The World Health Organization estimates over 1,300 heat-related deaths across Europe since June 21. Germany continued to set new national temperature records, reaching 41.7°C on Sunday, June 28. While [Радіо Свобода] reported this occurred in Coschen, [Українська правда] cited Neißemünde as the location, noting it was the third consecutive day a temperature record was broken. The extreme heat also caused damage to German autobahns, leading to traffic jams where approximately 100 farm animals died in stalled trucks. Poland also experienced its highest recorded temperature in over a century, reaching 40.5°C in Słubice on Sunday. Sources: Forbes Ukraine, Радіо Свобода, Українська правда, Громадське.
