A wildfire broke out Thursday morning in the Archangelos area of Laconia, southern Greece, prompting an immediate emergency alert from authorities.
The blaze, which is burning through forested land, led to the activation of Greece’s emergency warning number 112. Residents and anyone located in the vicinity of Archangelos were instructed to evacuate and move toward the nearby area of Daimonia for safety.
Firefighting crews are responding, though the full scale of the fire and potential damage remains unclear. Laconia, part of the Peloponnese region, has faced fire threats in the past due to dry summer conditions and strong winds.
