Girl Injured in Cordoba Police Operation: Conflicting Accounts Emerge

Cordoba, Argentina: Police Operation in Barrio Zepa Leaves 15-Year-Old Girl Injured A tense situation unfolded in Cordoba's Barrio Zepa on Sunday, June 8th, 2025, when a police operation resulted in clashes between officers and residents. The incident began with the arrest of two men, aged 37 and 22, for allegedly throwing stones at public buses. However, the situation escalated when, according to police reports, "neighbors and alleged family members attacked the police station with blunt objects, damaging vehicles and injuring four officers." The police responded using non-lethal crowd control measures. However, residents and family members offer a different account. They claim a 15-year-old girl was injured in the eye by a less-lethal projectile fired by police. One eyewitness stated, "They shot her in the face! Her face was covered in blood." The girl was subsequently hospitalized. The incident highlights the complexities of urban policing and the potential for escalation when community tensions are high. Further investigations are underway to determine the full sequence of events and assign responsibility for the injuries sustained.
