Forest fires continue to rage across Europe, with Greece remaining on high alert due to ongoing wildfires. The situation is most critical around 60 kilometers northwest of Athens, where flames have advanced along a several-kilometer-wide front. Hundreds of people have been evacuated by boat, according to media reports. Fires are also burning on the Peloponnese peninsula, with fire service spokespersons stating that teams were battling blazes at 73 locations on Friday evening. Another major fire broke out west of Athens, prompting the preventive evacuation of the densely populated suburb of Dasos due to thick smoke and flames. On Crete, large fires continued to burn, though conditions have improved slightly. However, strong winds threaten renewed flare-ups and hinder aerial firefighting operations. In southern France, near Marseille and Cannes, a fire reignited and spread rapidly on Friday, forcing the evacuation of approximately 2,500 people. Around 1,000 hectares burned within a few hours, according to authorities, who deployed 720 firefighters. Scientists point to climate change as a driver of more frequent and intense wildfires, which both France and neighboring Spain are combat
