One person has died as fierce wildfires spread in the suburbs of Athens in Greece, the BBC writes.
The body, believed to be that of a woman, was found inside a shop in the town of Vrilissia, northern Athens, a source from the fire service told the BBC.
Thousands of people have been evacuated after firefighters warned that homes, businesses and schools were under threat, with fires expected to continue into Tuesday.
Fire service spokesman Col Vassilios Vathrakogiannis said while there was no longer a single active fire front in the north-eastern Attica region, which includes parts of Athens, adding that conditions for new fires remained dangerous not only on Tuesday, but also for further into the week.
More than 700 firefighters, 199 fire engines and 35 water bombing aircraft have been involved in efforts to extinguish the fires, which first broke out on Sunday afternoon around 35 kilometers north of the Greek capital.
