Two nearly simultaneous wildfires on Greece’s island of Salamina killed two people, injured at least 10 others and prompted the evacuation of hundreds, including about 500 people who left by sea. Around 200 firefighters, 50 fire engines, aircraft and vessels were deployed as strong winds fueled the flames. One fire was brought under control and the other had no active front by Sunday evening, though surveillance continued. The fires’ causes remain unknown, amid a wider weekend of severe wildfires across Europe and record heat reported by the EU’s Copernicus climate monitoring service.

Moroccan authorities reportedly detained 111 migrants near Fnideq, close to Spain’s North African territory of Ceuta, after social-media messages called for a mass border crossing. Moroccan police used tear gas to disperse groups in nearby hills, while Morocco and Spain deployed additional military, police, naval and surveillance resources. The heightened security follows a previous influx of roughly 78,000 migrants into Ceuta, during which the city’s mayor said about 100 people died and most arrivals later returned to Morocco. The episode has also intensified tensions among European countries, with Italy temporarily suspending Spain’s Schengen arrangements and introducing border checks, while Spain defended its position and imposed its own controls amid fears of another influx.
