Helicopters Collide in Greek Forest Fire Effort
A collision occurred between two helicopters while they were participating in efforts to extinguish a forest fire in Greece. The country has been battling wildfires for a week, which have destroyed more than 12,000 hectares of forests and agricultural land. The firefighting authorities confirmed that the operation is still ongoing to search for the two missing crews, as challenging weather conditions—due to strong winds—hinder firefighting efforts. Hundreds of firefighters are engaged in battling the flames across various regions, including the Porto Germenos area and the Peloponnese Peninsula. Greece is experiencing severe weather conditions; authorities announced the evacuation of around 8,000 people from the island of Crete due to fires threatening tourist resorts, with wind speeds reaching 125 kilometers per hour, further complicating efforts to control the wildfires.
