Two minor bomb explosions in less than 24 hours have rocked districts in the Greek capital Athens, amid intense anti-government protests and strikes.
Saturday's explosion took place outside the home of a Pakistani community leader, damaging the building's entrance and three cars.
Police, who had managed to seal off the area 15 minutes before the explosion in response to a phone tip, say no one was injured in the blast.
On Friday, a bomb damaged the office of a far-right anti-immigration group. Recently, Greece has witnessed several such attacks.
So far, no group has claimed responsibility for the attacks, which have mostly targeted banks and government buildings.
While attacks by Greek youths and Neo-Nazi militants against Muslim immigrants in the country have increased, far-left and anarchist groups have also been blamed for numerous bombings in recent years.
In December 2008, a police shooting that killed a teenager resulted in massive anti-government protests and riots.
In May last year and last month, the country's Bangladeshi community was targeted with two arson attacks.
In Sparta, southern Greece, a gang of Greek teenagers set fire to a house where a group of migrants were sleeping in February.
In May, unknown assailants, who tried to torch a makeshift mosque in Athens, injured five Bangladeshi migrants.
