A false alarm was raised on Wednesday by the police due to the discovery of a suitcase deemed suspicious outside the Digital Governance Ministry in Kallithea in south Athens.

A bomb disposal team arrived at the scene, and after the relevant inspection, it was determined that the suitcase did not contain anything alarming to the authorities.

The Court of First Instance of Athens was evacuated on Monday morning due to a bomb threat.

The police bomb disposal unit is currently conducting a search operation on the court grounds following the call, which occurred at 9.30 a.m.

No further information is currently available.

Authorities in Greece say a powerful bomb explosion damaged a gas station in Piraeus, south of Athens, in the early hours of Friday morning. 

There have been no reported injuries. Nearby buildings and vehicles also sustained damage from the blast, which occurred shortly after 3 a.m. on Omiridou Skylitsi Street. 

A security alert was triggered on Thursday following the discovery of a suspicious item found behind an outdoor air conditioner unit of a bank in Tavros, a suburb in southwestern Athens.

The object, identified as a backpack, was found by a bank employee who alerted the police.

A bomb disposal unit has arrived in the area to determine the seriousness of the threat, police said.

Bomb threats were reported at the embassies of the United States, Israel, and Egypt in Athens on Friday. 

According to reports, television stations were contacted and informed that bombs would detonate at the three embassies by 11.30 a.m. 

Another call warned that a bomb would go off at the parliament building. 

A previously unknown anarchist guerrilla group group identifying themselves as "Armed Response" has claimed responsibility for the failed bomb attack against a judge at the Thessaloniki courthouse in northern Greece last week, the third such incident since December.

Authorities are no longer under alert as the contents of the suspicious package do not pose a threat. A suspicious package, addressed to Education Minister Kyriakos Pierrakakis, was found at the Education Ministry earlier on Wednesday. 

Authorities were put on high alert after receiving a call reporting the suspicious package.

Explosives sent to the northern port city of Thessaloniki's Courthouse earlier on Monday enclosed in an envelope were successfully defused by the bomb disposal unit, the police announced.

The Thessaloniki Courthouse was evacuated on Monday following the discovery of a suspicious package, according to local media reports.

The bomb disposal unit of the Greek Police (ELAS) has been dispatched to the scene.

As of now, no further information is available.
