A Greek interpreter has reported firing a weapon by mistake near a helicopter in the western Athens region, according to local media. The incident occurred during a routine operation, and the interpreter later realized the object they had fired at was an aircraft. The interpreter described the situation as a "mistake" and emphasized that no one was harmed.

Authorities are currently investigating the incident to determine the exact circumstances and whether any legal actions will be taken. The interpreter, who was part of a security detail, was not aware of the presence of the helicopter at the time of the discharge. The event has raised concerns about safety protocols in the area.

The local police have confirmed that no injuries were reported, and the helicopter was not damaged. The interpreter has been placed on leave pending the outcome of the investigation. Further details are expected as the inquiry progresses. (tovima.gr)
