Firebomb attacks in northern Greek city target residences of governing party members, injuring 5

Coordinated firebomb attacks struck residences of New Democracy (ND) party members in Thessaloniki, injuring five people, including a child. The attacks mark a sharp escalation in political violence ahead of Greece’s upcoming elections. Greek and international outlets—including *eKathimerini*, *The New York Times*, BBC, and AP—report the incidents as deliberate, with authorities describing them as targeted.

Police have launched investigations, but no group has claimed responsibility. Local media emphasize the attacks’ timing, occurring as ND faces criticism over economic policies and migration. Authorities are expected to increase security around party officials and their families.

Coverage does not yet specify whether the attacks will influence election campaigns or trigger broader unrest. Watch for official statements on arrests, claims of responsibility, or escalation in retaliatory incidents.
