Wildfires around the Greek port city of Alexandroupolis blazed uncontrolled for their fourth day on Tuesday, with hundreds of firefighters struggling to contain the flames that broke out on Saturday and rapidly spread. They were fuelled by gale-force winds that fanned smoke above the city, as the night sky turned vivid shades of red.
