On May 13, 1990, three Peruvian Army helicopters arrived in the community of Quempiri, in the Ene Valley. Upon hearing the helicopters, the community's population fled to their farms in search of refuge. This attack was part of a series of military operations carried out by the Peruvian Army between 1990 and early 1992 in the Tambo and Ene basins, attacking several communities controlled by the PCP-Sendero Luminoso. By that time, the PCP-SL already had control of the entire Ene River and the upper Tambo.
