Two Greek troops are being held by the Turkish army since Thursday morning for accidentally crossing the Greek-Turkish border on Evros, Ekathimerini reported.

An unidentified man aged 51 died after being hit by a train near Orestiada, in northern Greece, on Sunday.

The passenger train was in service on the route between Alexandroupoli and Dikaia. The man died at the scene.

The incident is under investigation.

Greek farmers are determined to continue their protest actions and blocking the roads, while they are accusing the Greek government of provocative acts, telling lies and dishonesty.

Specifically, the Kastanies-Rizia blockade released a statement denouncing what government spokesperson Olga Gerovassili said during the press conference.

After nearly a week of heavy rainfall, civil protection authorities in northern Greece on Wednesday warned that the Ardas River is at risk of breaking its banks due to flooding at the Ivaylovgrad Dam in neighboring Bulgaria.
