Homemade explosive devices in downtown Thessaloniki

Two homemade explosive devices went off in downtown Thessaloniki early afternoon on Wednesday.
 
The first explosion was recorded at 13:17 outside the second-floor office of opposition Popular Orthodox Rally (LA.O.S) MP Angelos Kolokotronis located on Mitropoleos Street. Two female employees who were in the office at the time were slightly injured by flying glass, while the damages caused were minor, according to police.
 
Another explosion was recorded ten minutes later outside the second-floor offices shared by the Greek Veteran Police Officers' Club and the local branch of the International Police Association (IPA) located on Promitheos Street causing only limited damage.
