Two helicopters collide mid-air in Greece while fighting wildfires near Athens

Two firefighting helicopters collided mid-air on Sunday near Psatha, west of Athens, Greece, while battling extensive wildfires. Forces were immediately mobilized for a search and rescue operation. Initial reports indicate the crew of one helicopter was safely rescued, with efforts ongoing to locate the crew of the second. The helicopters were part of a larger operation to control a massive wildfire that has already destroyed over 100 homes northwest of Athens. Greece is currently experiencing multiple blazes, including one on the tourist island of Kefalonia, following a period of record-breaking heatwaves across Europe.
