During an armed strike called by the Shining Path PCP for August 17 and 18, 1991 in the city of Huamanga, the subversive organization threw explosives at street vendors who did not comply with the strike. As a result of this attack, two people died. This type of action was part of the PCP-SL's strategy of imposing armed strikes in the cities through violence and terror. The violence in the city of Huamanga during this period only stopped with the capture of Abimael Guzmán and the subsequent signing of the Peace Accord.
