Two people dead as wildfire burns in southern Greece | ABS-CBN News

Two people were found dead in a wildfire which, fanned by strong winds, raged uncontrolled near a rugged mountainous area in the central Greek region of Corinth on Monday (September 30), Greek authorities said. Hundreds of firefighters, assisted by nine aircraft, battled the blaze which broke out on Sunday near the seaside town of Xylokastro on the Peloponnese peninsula, some 120 km (75 miles) west of Athens. The blaze had forced the evacuation of several villages. Greek police spokeswoman Constantina Dimoglidou said the recovered bodies were severely burnt and that laboratory tests were necessary for their identification.
