A home-made bomb exploded in the early hours of Monday morning right in front of a building that is currently housing the offices of Greece's Ministry of Administrative Reform. According to reports, the explosion occurred at 1:52 am (2252 GMT) and caused serious damages to the ground floor as well as several automobiles that were stationed nearby. A report on protothema said that the explosion was so intense that it is a miracle no injuries were reported. Nonetheless, the explosion did give way to a massive fire but luckily it was placed under control through the tireless work of 21 fire fighters and seven fire trucks.
