A bomb exploded outside Greece's parliament building in central Athens on Saturday evening, police said. There were no casualties.
Police were alerted immediately after the Eleftherotypia newspaper received a call saying a bomb was placed in an open area outside of the structure.
Authorities closed off part of the boulevards in front of parliament and on the eastern side of the building before an explosive device detonated inside an installation for garbage disposal.
Law officers, wary of more explosives in the vicinity, were carefully combing the area, local media reported.
The front of the building is a major tourist attraction since Greece's tomb of the unknown soldier is there.
