On September 8, 1981, ten new firecrackers were set off in different parts of Lima. This event was part of a series of terrorist attacks that had been taking place in the capital since mid-1981. The attacks were part of the initial strategy of the PCP-Sendero Luminoso to carry out sabotage and attacks against state institutions and public and private property. This action took place just days after six terrorist attacks in the early morning hours of August 31, which appeared to be the product of the same rigorously planned plan.
