In June 1989, the Shining Path PCP carried out an incursion in the locality of Isccana, district of Luricocha, province of Huanta. This attack was part of a series of collective assassinations that the subversive organization perpetrated in the rural areas of northern Ayacucho (Huanta, Huamanga, La Mar) during 1989 and 1990. The event took place in a context where the PCP-SL was trying to recover spaces and was facing the resistance of the peasant patrols, coinciding with years of bad harvests that accentuated the peasants' rejection of the subversive columns. Seven people were killed in this attack, which was followed by other massacres in nearby towns such as Mutuycocha, Sallalli, Huayllay and Paccha.
