One man died in a car explosion on the Attiki Odos ring road near Athens airport. The Greek media Ethnos and skai.gr report that, according to sources, the explosion was due to the explosives loaded in the vehicle.

The same sources said that while investigating the explosion site the police officers had found a crater, which raises doubts that the explosive was in the car.
