Two students had to be treated for scrapes and bruises after being hit by chunks of plaster falling from the ceiling of a classroom in Preveza, northwestern Greece, on Monday morning.

The incident occurred at a middle school in the small town of Filippiada and has prompted a judicial investigation into the failings of the institution's maintenance and safety procedures. 

A wildfire broke out on Saturday in the Ziros municipality in the Preveza regional unit of Epirus.

The blaze, which is consuming forest land, is being tackled by 65 firefighters with 21 fire engines, assisted by five water-dropping aircraft and two helicopters.
