Several wildfires scorched through parts of Messina, a harbor city in Sicily, overnight on Sunday, July 9.

Emergency services battled the fires overnight, with La Sicilia reporting there was a shortage of firefighters. The wildfires affected some homes in the area.

The latest wildfires came three weeks after more than 100 wildfires forced the evacuation of homes and a nursery in northern Sicily.
