In the video below, two loud explosions are heard, while flames are visible from the point of confrontation between neighbors and police in Aspropyrgos.

Extension of the severe blockade in West Attica
Since coronavirus cases do not decrease in West Attica and Kozani, yesterday it was decided to extend the blockade in these areas until December 30.
This decision was based entirely on epidemiological data and primarily on the fact that the number of active cases in these areas remains high.
Specifically, on 12-17-2020 (the day the additional restrictive measures began) in the Municipality of Aspropyrgos there were 166 active cases, in the Municipality of Elefsina 65 active cases and in the Municipality of Mandra-Eidyllia 30 active cases, while that until last night the number of active cases were 178, 77 and 27 respectively.
