Army patrol arrives in Cochas community

In June 1989, an Army patrol composed of approximately forty troops under the command of Captain "Davis" arrived in the community of Cochas. The military asked the population about the whereabouts of the subversives. This military incursion occurred in a context where the PCP-SL had lost strength in the area, with visible modifications in the composition and mood of its detachments. The arrival of this patrol was part of the counter-subversive operations in the Tulumayo basin, a strategic corridor between the highlands and the jungle of Junin.
