An explosion occurred on a second floor of an apartment building at 99 Papagou Street in the Zografou area of Athens. While authorities initially deployed the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Department (TEEM) due to suspicions of an explosive device, preliminary investigations suggest the blast was likely caused by a household appliance.

The incident resulted in material damage to the property and required the transport of two residents, a 33-year-old man and a 24-year-old woman, to the hospital as a precaution. The Fire Service has launched an investigation to determine the exact circumstances of the event.
