A devastating wildfire broke out northeast of Athens on Sunday, casting a dark shadow over the city as the acrid smell of smoke filled the air. The fire, which ignited around 3 p.m. local time, is located approximately 35 kilometers (22 miles) from the Greek capital.
Over 400 firefighters, supported by 110 fire engines and numerous volunteers, are tirelessly battling the blaze. By late afternoon, 15 firefighting planes and nine helicopters were deployed to combat the flames, but operations were halted at sunset.
