A massive wildfire in Cyprus has scorched 38.6 square miles, destroying homes and forcing the evacuation of 14 villages in the Troodos mountain range. Two bodies were found in a burned-out car, with identification efforts ongoing. Fire crews are battling flare-ups while aerial support, including aircraft from Spain and Jordan, assists in firefighting. Temporary shelters have been set up for over 100 evacuees, as residents criticized the response to the fire. The government emphasizes readiness following three dry winters increasing fire risks.
