During a night march, a mob of more than 50 people threw 20 Molotov cocktails shouting "guerrilla is the way", destroying the windows of two banks in the center of Miraflores. This attack was part of the first stage of violence in Metropolitan Lima, characterized by sabotage and attacks on state institutions and private entities. The event occurred during the initial period of the internal war initiated by the PCP-Sendero Luminoso, when the city of Lima served as a "sounding board" for subversive actions.
