A second night of devastation gripped the Xylokastro region as a fierce wildfire continued to burn.

Firefighters are battling multiple active fronts and facing continuous flare-ups, with the fire spreading towards the National Highway near the village of Lygia.

The National Highway near the Likoporia junction has been closed in both directions due to

the fire. Traffic is being diverted to the old national road.

The fire front stretches over 32 kilometers, threatening areas near Trikala Korinthias, Xanthochori, and Vrysoules.

Climate Crisis and Civil Protection Minister Vassilis Kikilias has arrived in the region to oversee the emergency response.

A coordinated meeting is taking place at the Mobile Operations Center "Olympus" to coordinate the response efforts.

The battle to control the fire continues, with officials warning that conditions remain highly volatile.
