Several storefronts and vehicles were damaged by the blast on Saturday morning.

Footage from the scene shows forensic experts examining the site, as cops launch a probe into the suspected plot to blow up the bank.

The woman was known to the authorities as she had previously taken part in several robberies, according to the police.

The cops added that they are investigating her possible ties to extreme leftist groups.

This comes after a bomb exploded in central Athens in April.

The blast took place outside the Hellenic Train offices – Greece‘s main railway company – in the capital.

Shocking footage showed the terrifying moment the explosion ripped through a padlocked backpack planted outside the building.

A massive flash was captured in CCTV clips after the bomb detonated.

Emergency rescuers rushed to the scene and cordoned off the area after local residents said they heard a loud explosion in the avenue.

It is thought to have been caused by a device which was placed inside the backpack and left on a bike without license plates.

The blast occurred after a surge of public outrage regarding the 2023 train tragedy, where two trains traveling in opposite directions mistakenly ended up on the same track.

The passenger train carrying 350 people departed capital Athens and was headed to Thessaloniki in the north.

It had just left Larisa in central Greece when it ploughed head-on into a freight train heading in the opposite direction.

At least three carriages burst into flames, with horror pictures showing the devastating aftermath of the disaster.

Mangled carriages with broken windows laid twisted beside the tracks as thick plumes of smoke rose into the sky.

Of 66 injured passengers – including children – some 25 were said to be in a serious condition.

A probe into the horror collision concluded it was caused by human error, poor maintenance and inadequate staffing.
