两架希腊消防直升机于8月2日在科林斯湾附近的普萨塔地区发生空中相撞[1]。其中一架直升机爆炸坠毁，另一架机组人员安全[1]。这场事故发生在希腊正面临大规模野火威胁的关键时期。
希腊目前的火灾形势严峻。近日已有3名消防员在灭火行动中殉职，其中克里特岛2人，伯罗奔尼撒地区1人[1]。风力推动火势蔓延，阵风速度达到每小时100公里[1]，已造成超过6500公顷土地被烧毁[1]。为应对灾情，当局进行了人员撤离，周五通过海上撤离了254人，周六再撤离12人[1]。希腊总理基里亚科斯·米佐塔基斯警告称"极其困难的日子即将到来"[1]。此外，一名44岁男子因涉嫌纵火罪在塞法利尼亚岛被捕[1]。
Two firefighting helicopters collided in mid-air near the Psatha region west of Athens on Sunday, August 2, 2026, as Greece battles widespread wildfires [1]. One aircraft exploded and crashed following the collision, while the crew of the other helicopter escaped safely [1].
The accident occurred amid an escalating crisis across the country, where three firefighters have lost their lives in recent days—two on the island of Crete and one in the Peloponnese [1]. Extreme weather conditions are fueling the disaster, with winds reaching speeds of up to 100 kilometers per hour, and fires have already consumed more than 6,500 hectares of land [1]. Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has warned that "extremely difficult days lie ahead" [1]. Evacuation efforts have been ongoing, with 254 people rescued by sea on Friday and another 12 on Saturday [1]. In a separate development, a 44-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of arson on the island of Cephalonia [1].
