Greece is battling multiple wildfires, prompting Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis to warn on Sunday that the country faces an 'extremely difficult' situation. The fires have forced evacuations and strained firefighting resources.
During firefighting operations, two helicopters collided, according to official reports. The incident highlights the dangers faced by crews tackling the blazes.
Authorities have not yet provided a full assessment of the damage, but the fires have spread across several regions. Emergency services remain on high alert as strong winds and high temperatures complicate efforts.
The Greek government has called for international assistance, and neighboring countries have offered support. The full extent of the impact is still being assessed.
