Greek police say a bomb has exploded near the Acropolis in central Athens, but it was not immediately clear what the target was and whether anybody has been hurt.
The explosion outside a ship owner’s house Nikos Tsakos occurred at about 8:30 p.m., following a warning call to a Greek newspaper.
Police spokesman Panagiotis Papapetropoulos said officers were able before the blast to evacuate one or two people from the building and to seal off the area of the major tourist site.
There has been no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack.
