Piraeus:A bomb alert led to the evacuation of approximately 875 passengers from a ferry scheduled to depart from the Greek port city of Piraeus. The incident occurred on Monday after a warning about a possible explosive device on board was reported.

According to Anadolu Agency, the alert was triggered when an unidentified individual called a passenger on the ferry, warning of an imminent explosion. Coast guard officers conducted a thorough search of the vessel, but no explosive device was found.

The ferry, which was en route to the island of Rhodes with stops in Syros, Patmos, Leros, and Kos, also had 83 crew members on board. It was transporting 89 passenger cars, 12 motorcycles, 110 trucks, and a minibus. The evacuation follows a series of bomb threats reported across Europe last week, affecting numerous passenger flights and resulting in emergency landings, diversions, and heightened security measures at airports.
