Greece is facing an ongoing battle with wildfires, particularly in Peloponnese, Evia, and Kythera. Fire brigade officials report a high risk of fire extending across the country. Strong winds are propelling the flames, with the situation deemed difficult. Evacuation orders have been issued in Kythera, where significant portions of the island have burned, including structures and natural resources. Foreign firefighting units are assisting, while many areas remain at high risk for additional flare-ups and damage to infrastructure continues.
"Today is expected to be a difficult day with a very high risk of fire, almost throughout the territory", fire brigade spokesman Vassilis Vathrakogiannis said, though he added that the situation was improving.
"Houses, beehives, olive trees have been burnt," Komninos told state-run ERT News channel. "A monastery is in direct danger right now."
