An unidentified man opened fire on patrons at a cafe in the Nea Smyrni area of Athens, killing two men and injuring one woman. It is believed that this incident is related to a mafia confrontation, according to Greece's public broadcaster ERT.

Footage from security cameras has been released showing the attack. The incident occurred on a Sunday evening when the cafe was bustling with people.

“According to reports, one of the deceased was associated with criminal circles,” ERT stated, labeling the incident a “mafia attack.”
