"Wildfire in Greece ignites explosions at ammunition depot, forces fighter jet relocation"

A wildfire in Greece, fueled by strong winds, caused explosions at an air force ammunition depot in central Greece, prompting the evacuation of the facility and the relocation of nearby F-16 fighter jets. The fire, one of 124 wildfires in the country, resulted in no severe injuries but shattered windows in surrounding areas. Greece has been battling wildfires during three consecutive heatwaves, leaving five people dead and forcing the evacuation of tourists. The World Meteorological Organization reported that temperatures in July set a new global heat record, while parts of central Europe experienced winter conditions. Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis attributed the wildfires to the climate crisis, and Greece recorded the highest wildfire carbon emissions in July since record-keeping began 20 years ago.
