Detectives are investigating if a dispute over a single euro coin was connected to an explosion in Plaka that killed six people. The inquiry into the perpetrators' methods follows an incident linked to the theft, occurring as the government separately retreats on the issue of distressed 'red' loans to quieten public anger over debt servicing.
The labor market is cooling as the holiday season ends. Summer saw 28,700 more dismissals than hires, and while the nine-month employment balance remains positive, the growth is increasingly driven by part-time work. For those still commuting in the capital, the metro operator has clarified why airport line services are now limited to one every 36 minutes.
A 4.2 magnitude earthquake was registered in the underwater area south of Halkidiki, while a car dealership fire in Glyfada caused damage to building and vehicles. In the Peloponnese, police have extended their search for a missing 33-year-old to local monasteries as the investigation into the disappearance in Karytaina enters a more difficult phase.
