New evidence has come to light after the brutal beating of a 64-year-old man (pictured) by a couple after a wedding celebration in the village of Agios Petros in North Kynouria in Arcadia.

A 56-year-old border guard who was injured - on Saturday afternoon- by fire from the Turkish side while on patrol in a remote area of Soufli, is being treated in a stable condition in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Didymoteicho General Hospital.

Minister of Climate Crisis and Civil Protection, Vassilis Kikilias, in a post on "X" platform  addressed the wildfires faced by firefighting forces on Friday. Kikilias emphasized that "the prolonged heatwave, drought, strong winds, and increased dry lightning activity severely tested the efforts of firefighters, who tackled 68 fires across the country."
