Greek authorities say an explosion and ensuing fire on a ship undergoing repairs at a dockyard near Athens has killed at least five people and injured four more.
The Merchant Marine Ministry says rescue crews are still searching the Panamanian-flagged Friendship Gas tanker ship in case more people are trapped inside,
The blast occurred Thursday at the Perama shipyard west of the Greek capital. The ministry said Friday that two people have been arrested on suspicion of not maintaining safety standards. Last July, two workers were killed while carrying out repairs on a ship at Perama.
