Wildfire warning at highest level – multiple fires
The forestry authority warned of wildfire risk at the highest level and urged the public to exercise extreme caution. In Arsos, five hectares of green space, dry grass and waste burned, with the community leader not ruling out that the fire was deliberately set. In connection with a fire at the shooting range near Kalo Chorio, the Akel party criticised Defence Minister Vasilis Palmas for lack of transparency regarding the cause of the fire.
