Five Injured in Thessaloniki Firebombing Spree

The attackers targeted three separate locations before daybreak, triggering blasts that shattered the early morning calm. While the first two incidents resulted exclusively in structural damage, the third explosion proved more volatile, wounding five individuals and scorching nearby vehicles.

No organization has stepped forward to claim responsibility for the violence. Historically, Greece has seen a recurring pattern of arson and low-level explosive attacks against political entities, though these events rarely result in human casualties. The administration under New Democracy has characterized the episode as an intolerable breach of order and pledged a rigorous investigation into the perpetrators.
