Reports indicate several fatal incidents and recovery operations across Argentina and Paraguay.

In Argentina, authorities recovered the body of Gustavo Aguirre from the Colastiné River 50 days after his boat sank. In San Martín de los Andes, the body of Cristian Coliluan was found after his vehicle was discovered in Lake Lácar, prompting investigations into whether the crash was an accident or suicide. Other fatalities in Argentina included an unidentified man found near the Curupí stream in Reconquista and a man identified as F. A. who died of cardiac arrest near Route 118 in Corrientes.

In Paraguay, two fatal shootings were reported. In Asunción, Vladímir Espínola Vallejos was shot and killed in a plaza; police suspect the shooting may have been an “accidental error by individuals looking for someone else.” In General Artigas, Miguel Ángel Rodríguez Benítez was fatally shot five times by two men on a motorcycle.
