The mobilization has been enormous since 8 in the morning in Dikorfo, Zagori, when the first information arrived that a hunter in the area found remains of the training plane.
In Dikorfo, according to epiruspost.gr, there is a strong force of the Police, EMAK, Army and Civil Protection, while a Canader-type aircraft is also participating in the investigation. According to ERT, the investigations are focused on the Kavalari area, between Dikorfos and Elati.
The weather conditions are excellent and they are the Authorities’ greatest ally in the investigation.
However, the information is being verified to locate the aircraft, since the hunter who claimed to have found the remains has not had any contact with the authorities since he gave the first information.
The point will be thoroughly reviewed, while at the same time the research is evolving in other areas of Zagori.
