Greece and Turkey continue to battle major wildfires amid a severe heatwave. Temperatures reached 42.4C in central Greece at the weekend, with emergency services battling fires in the Peloponnese area of Athens and on the popular tourist islands of Kytheria and Crete.

The Tayfun Block IV will join Turkey's increasingly diversified ballistic missile arsenal, which also has growing export potential.

Wildfires that have engulfed Turkey for weeks threatened the country’s fourth-largest city early Sunday, causing more than 1,700 people to flee their homes and leaving a firefighter dead.

After extreme heat hits many parts of southern Europe in another heatwave, conditions should improve for holidaymakers.
