13 people were arrested in Greece after fireworks launched from a yacht started a forest fire on the island of Hydra, near Athens. The fire, which began late on Friday, burned the island's only pine forest in a remote area inaccessible by road. The mayor of Hydra expressed "outrage" and vowed legal action against those responsible, while firefighters worked to extinguish the blaze with helicopters and water-bombing aircraft.
