The attacker, whose identity or age was not officially informed, is a former student of the educational center. No injuries or fatalities were reported.

The Molotov cocktails were thrown against the façade of the premises where the Professor Antonio Sproesser and Vista Alegre public schools operate, said Anderson Palmieri, who is the security secretary of the Monte Mor Municipality.

"The school is closed until an examination is carried out," he said, adding that all the students, teachers and staff of the school were sent home after the attack.

On the outskirts of the school, the police found five plastic bottles with flammable substances and nails that the young attacker could not use.

"There was some disturbance. The children were frightened by a thunderous noise. But everything calmed down with the arrival of the fire brigade and the Military Police," said Denival Santana, the Inspector of the Municipal Civil Guard.
