Plaka Gas Explosion Leaves Six Dead as Investigators Search for Leak Source

A devastating gas explosion occurred in Plaka on September 25th, leaving six people dead. Investigators are focusing on three key factors to determine the cause of the blast.

The first factor is toxicology and histology tests on the victims' lungs, which will help identify who inhaled gas before the fatal explosion.

The second factor is examining the natural gas supply pipes, both above-ground and underground. The network in this part of Plaka was built in 2011, and investigators are looking into whether a leak occurred at any point from the street to the floor where the explosion took place.

The third factor is investigating a missing bathroom water heater on the building's second floor, which may have been connected to the gas supply.
