The Clarín newspaper headquarters in the city of Buenos Aires was attacked on Monday night with “Molotov-type incendiary devices,” according to reports from the Police of that district.

Grupo Clarín repudiated what happened in a statement and made the corresponding complaint.

"We regret and condemn this serious fact that, at first glance, appears as a violent expression of intolerance against a media outlet. And we await its urgent clarification and sanction," the multimedia said.

Grupo Clarín released images from security cameras showing a group of men throwing firebombs at one of the entrances to the building, which was closed at the time.

There were no victims or relevant material damage, according to the company's statement.

The president of Argentina, Alberto Fernández, referred to what happened on his Twitter account: "I want to express our repudiation of the episode that occurred in front of the Clarín newspaper headquarters. Violence always alters democratic coexistence," he said.
