Six foreign nationals killed in Chalkidiki as a result of severe weather conditions

Six foreign nationals, including two children, were killed after extreme weather conditions struck Chalkidiki, northern Greece, late on Wednesday.

An 8-year boy and a 54-year woman from Romania were killed when the shelter of a restaurant they were dining fell as a result of gale-force winds, rain and hailstorms that struck in the area.

Earlier, two elderly Czech tourists were killed when strong winds and water swept away their travel trailer.

Two more deaths were recorded in Nea Potidea, where a tree fell on a 39-year-old Russian and his son, about two years old, living in a hotel unit in the area.
