Shining Path attack against Centromín Perú's facilities in Morococha
Shining Path dynamited the compressor house, ventilation pipes and power plant of Centromín Perú in Morococha on July 13, 1989. This was the last Shining Path attack in the area before ceasing their presence in Morococha.
On July 13, 1989, a Shining Path column dynamited the compressor house, ventilation pipes and the power plant of Centromín Perú in Morococha. This attack was part of a series of terrorist actions against the mining infrastructure that the PCP-SL had been carrying out in the area for months. The attacks against Centromín Perú had begun on December 26, 1988 and continued throughout 1989, seriously affecting mining operations. After this last attack, the Shining Path ceased to have a presence in the entire Morococha area, coinciding with the increased military presence in the area.
