Revolutionary Group Claims Responsibility for Hellenic Train Bombing

In a recent development, Greek authorities are investigating a bomb attack on the offices of Hellenic Train, the country's primary railway operator. The incident, which occurred on April 11, 2025, caused minor damage but no injuries, thanks to prior warnings issued to media outlets. A previously unknown guerrilla group, identifying itself as "Revolutionary Class Self-Defence," has claimed responsibility for the attack.

The group stated that the bombing was a response to the tragic 2023 train crash in Tempi, which claimed 57 lives and exposed significant safety deficiencies in Greece's railway system. In their statement, the group criticized the privatization of the railway during Greece's financial crisis and dedicated the attack to the Palestinian cause.

Greek anti-terrorism police are examining the group's claims and investigating potential links to other extremist organizations. This incident highlights the ongoing challenges of political violence in Greece, which has a history of small-scale attacks by leftist and anarchist groups.

Authorities are working to ensure public safety while addressing the underlying issues raised by the group. The investigation is ongoing, with police analyzing security footage and other evidence to identify those responsible.
