Greek firefighting helicopter collision deaths
Two helicopter crews were killed while participating in efforts to extinguish forest fires near Athens. The tragedy occurred when their aircraft collided during operations under severe weather conditions characterized by fierce winds reaching 100 kilometers per hour, leading to extensive destruction of forested and agricultural areas. One of the crews was found safe, and search efforts are ongoing to locate the other. The firefighting efforts are facing increased difficulties, with over 12,000 hectares burned and evacuations underway from coastal villages such as Porto Germeno on the island of Cephalonia. Authorities warned that continued poor weather conditions are hindering firefighting efforts, as emergency operations persist to combat the widespread fires.
