ATHENS (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 10th February, 2021) A low-yield home-made bomb went off in Athens in the early hours of Wednesday near a building housing three newspapers, the AMNA news agency reported.

The explosion occurred at about 3:30 a.m. (1:30 GMT), causing no injuries but slightly damaging the entrance of the office, which is home to Dimokratia, Estia and Espresso newspapers. The building is located in the Pangrati neighborhood.

The state security service is leading the investigation into the incident. The improvised explosive device was reportedly made up of gas canisters.
