ATHENS A fatal explosion rocked an apartment in Athens on Thursday, claiming the life of a man and seriously injuring a woman. Authorities have launched an anti-terrorism investigation into the incident, according to fire brigade and police officials.
Preliminary assessments by Greece’s anti-terrorism police unit suggest that the explosion was triggered by an explosive device, intensifying concerns over possible terrorist activity.
The blast occurred in the Ampelokipi district, severely damaging the apartment and causing extensive harm to the entire residential building. Emergency responders successfully evacuated the injured woman, who was subsequently hospitalized. The identity of the deceased man remains unknown at this time.
Greece experienced a surge in bomb and arson attacks during its 2009-18 debt crisis, primarily targeting politicians, judges, and businesses. Although such incidents have declined in recent years, this latest explosion has revived fears and prompted heightened security measures.
