At least three people died Tuesday in the wildfires raging on the Greek islands for a week. Among the three dead were two pilots, who were killed when their Canadair CL-215 plane crashed on the island of Evia, east of Athens, while battling the flames, as reported by Reuters, citing Air Force officials.
Amid the blazes caused by the wildfires, the Prime Minister of Greece has warned people of tough days ahead.
According to the officials, the pilots were 34-year-old and 27-year-old. The TV footage shows the plane dropping water over a fire and bursting into flames after crashing, Reuters reported. Amidst the battle with the blazes, the body of a stockbreeder who had been missing since Sunday was found burned in a shack, state broadcaster ERT reported. The broadcaster reported that the area on the island where the body was discovered was hard to reach.
