Justice is investigating an explosion during a science experiment at a school in the San Juan department of Ullum, which caused severe burns to a 9-year-old girl. According to information disseminated by the Diario de Cuyo portal and accessed by the Argentine News Agency (NA), the incident occurred during a science fair at the Elvira de la Riestra de Lainez school. The victim's mother filed a complaint, and personnel from the Special Crimes Prosecutor's Office (UFI) along with agents from the Investigations Brigade attended the establishment, where they carried out expert reports in the case classified as "Investigative proceedings for injuries". Prosecutor Iván Grassi emphasized that he will investigate the incident "in depth" to "determine possible liabilities" and "the existence of a crime". During the event, sixth-grade students were showing their work to fourth-grade students, while a volcano experiment was being conducted. A student allegedly grabbed a bottle of ethyl alcohol and squeezed it to extract the liquid, which fell on the volcano and caused a combustion that injured M.J. The minor is intubated and sedated at the Rawson Hospital as a result of the injuries. #AgenciaNA
