In a significant incident in Heraklion, Greece, three minors were arrested by police for their involvement in an explosion that occurred at a local school. The authorities reported that these youths are charged with the use of explosives and other related offenses, as they allegedly detonated an explosive device in the school's yard late on Monday night. The police's swift action led to their identification and arrest shortly after the incident.

During the investigation, police recovered materials from the explosion site, which included two full butane canisters, remnants of a liquor bottle, firecrackers, and duct tape, all of which are indicative of the dangerous nature of their actions. The severity of the charges reflects the potential threat posed not only to the school property but also to the safety of students and nearby residents. Given the minors' involvement, the matter raises serious concerns about youth behavior and supervision.

In addition to the arrests of the minors, their mothers were also taken into custody for neglecting supervision of their children. However, they were released after a verbal order from the prosecutor. This case will now proceed to the appropriate judicial authorities for further handling. The incident underscores the need for increased vigilance among parents and guardians regarding their children's activities, particularly in an environment where access to dangerous materials can lead to such alarming outcomes.
