A bomb blast struck a building housing offices of J.P. Morgan in Greece’s capital, Athens, on Tuesday. Thirty minutes before the blast a warning was phoned in to one of Greece’s largest newspapers, leading police to evacuate the building and surrounding area.

No one was hurt in the explosion, which caused minor damage. A police spokesperson told CNN that the caller did not identify himself, and that it’s expected a claim for the attack will be made later. The bomb blasts come at a time when protests against the socialist government’s handling of the country’s budget deficit have been growing across the country.
