Massive warehouse fire in Benavidez following letter bomb explosion at Escuela Superior de Gendarmerie Nacional

La Derecha Diario reports a massive warehouse fire in Benavidez as following a letter bomb explosion at the Escuela Superior de Gendarmería Nacional that injured three officers and a suspicious package discovery at Mercado Libre's Villa Celina office, framing them as coordinated attacks.

Mainstream sources confirm the Gendarmería blast occurred around 2 PM local time today, prompting evacuations and PFA explosives analysis, while the Mercado Libre package was safely neutralized; the Benavidez fire, captured in attached broadcast footage showing thick smoke and emergency response, lacks verified links to the bombs.

Hopefully this isn't going to be a wave of tourism now. Last thing we need here.

 
Just saw on the news about this.


A letter bomb just exploded at the Gendarmerie School: two officers were taken to Argerich Hospital with injuries after the explosion.
