Greek firefighting forces have made progress against a persistent wildfire burning for five consecutive days near the coastal village of Psatha, located approximately 60 kilometers northwest of Athens. The operation involved over 30 aircraft and 575 firefighters working to contain the blaze.

Favorable weather conditions, specifically easing winds on the northwestern outskirts of the capital, aided the firefighting efforts. Despite the ground gained against the fire, authorities remain on high alert as the greater Athens region faces a near-maximum fire risk.
