In a recent development, a Greek prosecutor has filed criminal charges against the captain and crew of a chartered yacht suspected of causing a forest fire on the picturesque island of Hydra in the Aegean Sea. The incident occurred during a firework display, adding to the series of wildfires that have been plaguing Greece due to the prevailing hot, dry, and windy weather conditions.
The blaze, which ravaged approximately 75 acres of pine forest on Hydra, was reported late Friday. Authorities had issued warnings about the high fire risk in various areas on the same day, urging the public to exercise extreme caution.
