A bomb exploded near the Hellenic Train offices in Athens on Friday evening. The incident comes amid widespread public anger over the 2023 Tempi rail disaster, in which 57 people were killed when a freight train and a passenger train traveling in opposite directions collided on the same track.
Greek police say there were no immediate reports of injuries.
Local media said a newspaper and a news website had received an anonymous call shortly before the explosion on Friday evening, with the caller warning that a bomb had been placed outside the railway company's offices and would explode in about 40 minutes.
Police cordoned off the site along a main road in the Greek capital, keeping residents and tourists away from the building in an area with several bars and restaurants.
Officers at the scene said a bag containing an explosive device was placed near the Hellenic Train building on Syngrou Avenue.
The explosion comes amid widespread public anger over the 2023 Tempi rail disaster, Greece's worst, in which 57 people were killed and dozens more injured when a freight train and a passenger train going in opposite directions accidentally collided on the same track.
Criticism of the government's handling of that crash has increased in recent weeks in the wake of the second anniversary of the disaster, which killed mainly young people who were returning to university classes after a public holiday.
