A forest fire on Greece's Evia island has led to the evacuation of two settlements. The fire, which started in the southern part of the island, spread rapidly due to strong winds.
Greek authorities asked residents of the threatened settlements of Mesohoria and Raptei to leave the area. Firefighting teams continue to combat the blaze from the air and the ground.
The cause of the fire has not yet been determined, and officials are closely monitoring developments in the area. No statement has been made regarding any casualties or injuries from the fire.
In Greece, fire risk remains high in many areas due to high temperatures and strong winds.
