Rescuers recovered six bodies from the ruins of a collapsed building in central Athens on Saturday, following a powerful explosion that struck the historic Plaka district a day earlier. Emergency crews used heavy machinery and search dogs to clear debris from the site, where authorities said six people were killed and several others injured. Local media reported that the victims included a British-Greek couple and four American tourists staying in the building. Firefighters also rescued two women from a neighbouring property. The cause of the explosion remains under investigation as police cordoned off the area and engineers assessed damage to surrounding buildings.
