The situation in Evia at this time is much better compared to yesterday.

The battle fought from morning to this hour by both ground and air forces formed a positive picture, as the major fronts over Artaki were narrowed.

At the same time, what the firefighters are afraid of is the rekindling of fires, as there are too many scattered outbreaks in Psachna and N. Artaki that could be the new headache.

At the same time, unstable winds are a problem, since they constantly change direction. The infantry units and the ground forces assisted by 4 aircraft and two helicopters have given a real battle to limit the flare-ups.

According to the first estimates, more than 5,000 acres have been sacrificed this two days to the flames, while no damage has been recorded. So far, however, there are no reports of burnt houses and businesses as in several cases they were saved at the last moment.

All the forces in the area remain on alert and during the night will try to limit flare-ups in critical areas.
