Anything to indicate it wasn’t a gas leak? Happens all the time.
So the phrase nobody wants to say: Was it the Russians...
Nothing of any military significance around there. But a great way to scare off the tourists and scare the greek government.
Not an unheard of event:
Jan 26, 2022 – Syngrou Ave, Koukaki (gas leak):

but also not unheard of it being a terror event.
June 3, 2013 – Gas canister firebombs, central Athens (anarchist attacks):
Out of curiosity, I checked local news (in Poland) and in the last couple of months there’s been like a dozen explosions caused by gas leaks. And a year before that. And a year before that.
To be able to tell what’s suspicious you need to know what’s normal. Gas leak caused explosions are very common. If you need a baseline you should be checking Greek news outlets, not Reuters, because random explosions aren’t that internationally newsworthy.
