In the night spanning from Thursday to Friday, April 19th, an act of vandalism and looting rattled the premises of the National Press Headquarters, leaving behind a trail of destruction and despair. The institution’s CEO confirmed being subjected to a fifteen-minute-long ordeal of captivity before being released, in what appears to be a meticulously coordinated and prepared assault.
The damages incurred are substantial: press equipment destroyed, vital documents scattered, and property stolen. The motives behind this attack remain obscure, yet several avenues are being explored by the competent authorities.
Initial reports gathered on-site suggest that a group of individuals breached the National Press Headquarters around midnight, armed and masked. They swiftly incapacitated security measures before ransacking the premises and seizing valuable equipment.
