Target of the explosion, Konstantinos Varsamis, is unharmed after ‘cowardly attack’ in Thessaloniki
Two people have been wounded in a targeted bomb attack in a suburb of Greece’s second city Thessaloniki, damaging a block of flats and six cars.
The explosion targeted the home of the president of the Greek association of prison guards in the suburb of Sykies, in the early hours on Saturday morning.
The guard, identified as Konstantinos Varsamis on the association’s website, was left unharmed after about 3kg of explosives were placed near the front door of his building, where he lives on the first floor.
However, two people suffered minor injuries from shards of glass, police sources told Agence France-Presse. The blast was said to have caused a “deafening noise” heard over a radius of more than 1km.
