Several large explosions at an air force ammunition stockpile have been brought on by wildfires in Greece.
In central Greece’s Volos region, raging fires eventually spread to the military installation in Nea Anchialos due to strong winds.
As the area was previously evacuated, officials have confirmed there have been no injuries reported, according to ITV.
Greek F-16 fighter bombs and ammo were reportedly kept at the location, according to local media.
The sequence of big explosions on the nearby homes reportedly caused windows to break.
The local villages have not reported any injuries, according to the fire department.
Twelve communities in the Volos-Nea Anchialos region were told to evacuate, according to Fire Service spokesman Ioannis Artopios.
Our men failed to put out the fire despite their extraordinary efforts, he claimed.
In addition to delaying national rail services travelling through the area, the blaze caused the closure of a portion of Greece’s main roadway and burnt on three fronts.
Achilleas Beos, the mayor of the city of Volos, urged the remaining villagers’ citizens to heed the evacuation order, noting that about 80% of them had already departed. Numerous locals, according to the coastguard, were transported to Volos on small private boats.
The police in Rhodes have declared a state of emergency, and they claim that this is the biggest fire evacuation effort the nation has ever seen.
Up to 10,000 British tourists may have been impacted by the evacuation of thousands of tourists from the nation.
Rhodes residents beg for assistance, saying, “We have no control over the fire.”
On the island of Rhodes, about 19,000 people have been evacuated, while at least 2,500 people have also left Corfu.
Due to the rising flames, tourists were forced to leave hotels and were forced to walk through temperatures above 40°C while sleeping on sun lounger cushions on the ground.
There have been requests for the Foreign Office to modify its recommendation that people should postpone all but absolutely necessary travel to Rhodes.
Extreme temperatures have been created by the Cerberus and Charon heatwaves in southern Europe, with Gythio in Greece topping the records so far with 46.4C.
