A homemade bomb package that exploded at the Gendarmerie Higher School in Argentina was received on August 26 and was linked to an improvised explosive device (IED).
On August 26, a package containing an improvised explosive device exploded at the Gendarmerie Higher School in Argentina. The package was addressed to Major Diego Gasperotti and was sent from a postal office located between Liniers and Villa Luro. Preliminary investigations identified the device as a homemade bomb made with compressed fulminant inside a PVC tube, which is a typical construction for IEDs in security and military contexts.
The explosion at the Gendarmerie Higher School raised significant concerns about the security measures in place for mail deliveries, especially in sensitive military educational institutions. Technicians analyzed the remnants of the package, confirming it was not only an attack on an individual but potentially a broader threat to public safety and order within the country's military establishments.
As authorities continue to investigate the origins and intent behind this attack, there is an urgent call for enhanced security protocols to prevent such incidents in the future. The implications of such a bombing are severe, raising alarms about extremist elements operating within Argentina and their capabilities to produce and deploy homemade explosive devices.
