A strong blast early Saturday damaged an apartment building in a suburb of Greece's second city Thessaloniki, wounding two passersby and shattering windows of nearby buildings.

A young man and woman who were passing at the time of the blast were injured by shards of glass, police sources told AFP. In May, a woman involved in robberies died after an explosion in front of a bank in Thessaloniki. The 38-year-old was linked to a jailed bank robber, accused among other things of terrorist acts as he had sent a parcel bomb to the Thessaloniki appeals court in February last year.
