One Dead and Five Missing After Explosion in Tourist Center of Athens
A gas leak likely caused an explosion in a three-story apartment building in the Plaka district of Athens, near the Acropolis, on Friday morning. The blast killed one woman, identified as an American tourist, and left five people missing, including three other Americans and possibly a fourth tourist staying in an Airbnb unit. Local authorities also fear that an elderly couple residing in the building may be trapped under the rubble. Approximately thirty firefighters with search dogs have been conducting rescue operations for over 24 hours. The incident damaged neighboring properties and parked vehicles in one of Europe's most visited cities, which attracts over 4 million annual visitors to the Acropolis.
