A new wildfire in Greece prompted evacuations in coastal areas south of Athens on Friday, as firefighters in neighbouring Turkey remained locked in a battle to contain flames tearing through forested hillsides in the west of the country.
The Greek wildfire broke out in scrubland near the town of Agios Dimitrious in Koropi, eastern Attica, on Friday afternoon. It prompted evacuations and a large-scale emergency response, according to firefighting officials.
