Europe heatwave live: Hundreds flee wildfires for third day as Greece braces for extreme temperatures
Hundreds have fled as wildfires rage in Greece for a third day while authorities brace for a new heatwave stoking tinderbox conditions across the country. Dozens of homes were gutted and hundreds were forced to flee towering flames west of Athens, while the fire brigade reported that a third fire had broken out on the island of Rhodes. Firefighters worked throughout the night and four aircraft sent from Italy and France will soon join the efforts to keep the flames at bay, as a second heatwave is forecast to start in Greece on Thursday. Temperature records have been shattered in Rome and Catalonia, provisional data suggests, as southern Europe is gripped by the ongoing extreme heat and wildfires. Britain’s Foreign Office has updated its travel advice for Spain and Greece, with holidaymakers urged to sign up for emergency alerts and warned of travel disruption as temperatures soar.

Russia-Ukraine war – live: Moscow evacuates thousands as fire reported at Crimea military base
Russian is evacuating thousands of people and a major highway has been shut down in the Crimean peninsula after a fire broke out at a military training base in the Kirovske district. “It is planned to temporarily evacuate residents of four settlements – this is more than 2,000 people,” said Russian-installed governor Sergei Aksyonov. An ammunition depot was on fire at the base after an overnight Ukrainian air raid, reported Russian Telegram channels linked to Moscow’s security services. Neither Ukraine nor Russia has confirmed the reports of an attack. Big flames and plumes of smoke were seen in videos shared online showing an uninhabited area, broken by a series of detonations. Some Telegram channels indicated that the fire was still not contained as of Wednesday morning. Meanwhile, Ukraine’s port city of Odesa witnessed “hellish” scenes overnight as it sustained more Russian airstrikes, officials said, a day after Vladimir Putin pulled out of a deal to allow safe grain exports from the region. Authorities were still assessing the scale of damage and casualties from the “very powerful, truly massive” attack, said Serhiy Bratchuk, spokesperson for the Odesa military administration.
