A Greek police officer guarding the residence of Supreme Court President Ioanna Klapa sustained burns following a gasoline bomb attack in Athens on Thursday morning, officials reported.

The motive for the attack, which occurred in a suburban area, remains unclear, and there were no immediate claims of responsibility. The officer was injured in the face and arms and was transported to a hospital for treatment. Fortunately, Klapa's home was not affected, but a nearby police vehicle suffered extensive damage.

Government spokesperson Pavlos Marinakis denounced the incident and stressed the importance of apprehending those responsible. Greek police officers and other authorities are often targeted by far-left militants, although the frequency of such severe attacks has decreased in recent years.
