A wildfire in Los Angeles has claimed 25 lives, with about 30 people still missing. Authorities have arrested 50 individuals in the affected areas on charges including robbery, flying drones in fire zones, and curfew violations.

The fire has been largely contained, except in Palisades and Eaton. However, the National Weather Service has issued red flag warnings for parts of Los Angeles and Ventura on Wednesday due to the risk of strong winds. While the winds are not expected to be as severe as last week, officials remain on alert.

Over 12,000 buildings have been destroyed, and the fire has burned approximately 155 square kilometers.
