A teacher's vehicle was intentionally set on fire in front of Secondary School No. 1515 in Villa Gobernador Gálvez, Argentina. The incident occurred around 10:50 AM on Monday in the Pueblo Nuevo neighborhood.

Following the arson, a threatening note was discovered in the school's internal courtyard. The message was directed at an inmate held at the Piñero Penitentiary Service. While the exact content of the note has not been released, police have launched an investigation to determine if the fire was premeditated and to identify those responsible.

Local police and forensic experts are analyzing the scene and the vehicle for evidence. The provincial Ministry of Education has activated violence contingency protocols, though school classes continued as scheduled despite the incident.
