A strong blast early Saturday damaged an apartment building in a suburb of Greece’s second city Thessaloniki, wounding two passersby and shattering windows of nearby buildings.
Six cars were also damaged in the explosion in the suburb of Sikies and anti-terror police were probing the incident, public broadcaster ERT said.
The blast damaged the ground floor of the building leaving gaping holes in the wall. The head of a prison officers’ union lives in the building, according to police.
A young man and woman who were passing at the time of the blast were injured by shards of glass, police sources told AFP.
In May, a woman involved in robberies died after an explosion in front of a bank in Thessaloniki.
The 38-year-old was linked to a jailed bank robber, accused among other things of terrorist acts as he had sent a parcel bomb to the Thessaloniki appeals court in February last year.
