Wolf Allegedly Attacks Dog Near School in Aigaleo

Published January 10, 2026, 14:12

A new incident of an attack by a wolf or small pack has been recorded in Aigaleo, causing concern among residents. The wild animal attacked and killed a stray dog. The incident comes just days after a wolf appeared in Petroupoli, which was captured on video and raised an alarm. The location of the attack, less than 100 meters from a residential area and a school, intensifies fears for the safety of residents and students. While the presence of wolves is important for ecological balance, their overpopulation leads to increased appearances in populated areas as they search for food. The wolves appear to be leaving Parnitha and descending into urban areas. Authorities are considering taking measures to protect residents and animals.
