TWO people have died after a large wildfire tore through forest in Greece, authorities said.
The fire service said about 350 firefighters, assisted by 18 water-dropping aircraft, managed to largely bring the blaze near seaside resort Xylokastro under control today.
Scattered fires burned in the area, in the Peloponnese region, but the initial large front had been put out, officials said.
