Kos, Greece: Raging wildfires, fueled by strong winds, have been tearing across the Greek island of Kos since Sunday, escalating dramatically on Monday.
The rapidly spreading fires have prompted authorities to issue evacuation orders for several areas, urging tourists and residents to seek safety. Public buildings, including stadiums, have been opened to provide shelter to those displaced by the disaster.
Reports indicate that homes in the Kardamena region are being consumed by the flames, but official figures regarding the extent of property damage remain unavailable.
