An improvised bomb that exploded prematurely in a central Athens apartment last week, killing a man and severely wounding a woman in the building, would have caused extensive damage to any intended target, Greece’s Minister of Citizen Protection said.

Last Thursday’s explosion demolished much of a third-floor apartment in the Athens area of Ambelokipi and damaged neighbouring apartments.
