On November 28, 1999, there was an armed confrontation between members of the Peruvian Army and militants of the PCP-Sendero Luminoso in the area of Alto Sanoven, district of Satipo. The combat resulted in the death of 2 military personnel and 4 subversives. This confrontation occurred in the context of the residual presence of the PCP-SL in the jungle of Satipo, specifically on the left bank of the Ene river basin, from where the Shining Path groups carried out sporadic incursions. By this time, the PCP-SL had been significantly weakened in the region, maintaining only small groups in remote communities.
