Evacuations have been ordered in a community near Volos in central Greece after an explosion in an ammunition warehouse, a spokesman for the fire service told AFP Thursday, as the country battles wildfires.
“Part of the ammunition warehouse at the air force barracks in Nea Anchialos is on fire and an explosion has taken place,” said Yannis Artopios, adding that seven planes and three helicopters were on site to put out the fires which have been burning since Wednesday.
