A 41-year-old Greek-British man was hospitalised in Thessaloniki after threatening to detonate a makeshift bomb outside the city’s courthouse. Authorities subdued the man, who was found with an improvised explosive device and a replica pistol. Following incoherent statements during his court appearance, officials ordered a psychiatric evaluation. The incident, handled by the Hellenic Police's Anti-Terrorist Service, has raised concerns over public safety and mental health interventions.

Greece implemented new quiet hours on October 1st for the winter season, prohibiting noise-generating activities from 15:30 to 17:30 and 22:00 to 07:30. Violators of these regulations could face up to five months in prison, as the new Penal Code classifies disturbing the peace as an offense. Exceptions for emergency work may be granted with police authorization.
