Greece’s fire service found a man’s body in the Dadia forest in Evros, according to a statement posted on its website.

The announcement came three days after authorities found 18 bodies in the same forest, where wildfires have been burning since Saturday. With more than 72,000 hectares burnt, the Alexandroupolis wildfire in Evros is the largest on record in the EU.
