Investigation Continues into Deadly Factory Explosion in Trikala

Investigations are ongoing into the explosion that occurred at the 'Biolanda' biscuit factory in Trikala, which resulted in the death of five women. The explosion, which preceded the fire, was so powerful that it was heard in neighboring villages and caused part of the factory to collapse. The Fire Crime Investigation Directorate (DAEE) is collecting testimonies from surviving workers, while two experts from Athens are analyzing the causes of the explosion. The women who lost their lives are Vasiliki Skampardoni, Elena Katsarou, and Stavroula Boukovala, mothers of young children. The local community is in a state of shock and three days of mourning have been proposed.
