Rhodes wildfires: Terrified tourists evacuated from Greece hotels amid Europe heatwave chaos
Rhodes wildfires: Terrified tourists evacuated from Greece hotels amid Europe heatwave chaos
Wildfires on the Greek island of Rhodes have forced thousands of tourists to flee their hotels and be evacuated off the beach by a fleet of private boats. The fires had been burning for days as Rhodes, like many parts of southern Europe, sweltered under a prolonged heatwave. But while previously they threatened only the mostly uninhabited central parts of the island, on Saturday strong winds pushed the fires towards the coast, forcing at least three resorts and hotels to be evacuated. The beach rescue involved around 30 private vessels as well as the coastguard and saw more than 2,000 tourists evacuated, an official said. The operation was expected to continue on Sunday. British tourists have described being caught up in the “terrifying” ordeal, with the Foreign Office directing UK nationals towards a crisis management unit set up by the Greek authorities. It comes as the heatwave conditions, caused by a high pressure system over southern Europe, eased in France and Spain but were forecast to continue in Italy and the Balkans.

Ukraine-Russia war – live: Kyiv preparing for ‘new wave’ of attacks on Avdiivka as Moscow hits key oil refinery
Ukraine is preparing for a “new wave” of Russian attacks on the besieged eastern town of Avdiivka, according to the region’s military chief. “Our boys are preparing for a new wave,” head of the region’s military administration Vitaliy Barabash said. On Monday, Kyiv claimed Russia was preparing to conduct “meat assaults” in the area by throwing troops at the front line without artillery cover. It comes as Russia struck Ukraine’s Kremenchuk oil refinery in Poltava after launching scores of drones and a missile overnight, military officials said. The refinery was set ablaze during a broader attack which targeted military and critical infrastructure, Filip Pronin, head of the region’s military administration, said. “The fire has been extinguished. The situation is under control,” he said on Telegram, adding that there were no reports yet of casualties as officials sought to gather more details of the destruction. The air force said 18 of the 20 Russian-launched kamikaze Shahed drones were destroyed before reaching their targets, as was the missile. Meanwhile, Ukrainian troops have made confirmed advances near Bakhmut, Donetsk, and Robotyne, Zaporizhzhia, according to the Institute for the Study of War.
