People react as they try to extinguish a wildfire in Avantas village, near Alexandroupolis town, in the northeastern Evros region, Greece, Monday, August 21, 2023
GREEK firefighters have found the bodies of 18 people in an area of north-eastern Greece ravaged by a major wildfire, authorities said today.
The bodies were found near a shack in the Avanta area in the north-eastern Alexandroupolis region, fire department spokesman Ioannis Artopios said in a televised statement.
Given that no reports of missing people had been filed in the area, authorities are now examining the possibility that the casualties were migrants who had entered the country across the nearby border with Turkey, Mr Artopios said.
