Algeria's government on Tuesday said arsonists were responsible for dozens of forest fires that have killed at least six people and destroyed homes east of the capital.

Plumes of smoke rose from pockets of fire in the forest in the Tizi Ouzou region on Tuesday, while residents used tree branches and hurled water from plastic containers in an attempt to put out the flames.

Firefighters and the army were still trying to contain the blazes that were ravaging forests in 13 provinces since Monday night.
