Explosion in front of the Greek Embassy in Buenos Aires

An explosion occurred at 01:30 Argentine time in front of the Greek Embassy in Buenos Aires, causing minor damage to the Embassy’s façade. The Embassy personnel were not in the building at the time and were in no danger.

According to the initial findings of the investigation being carried out by the Argentine police, the explosion was caused by a Molotov thrown by unidentified persons.

It is to be noted that last week the Foreign Ministry instructed all its Missions Abroad to take increased security measures.
