Shining Path incursion in Huancavelica mining centers
Shining Path raided the mining centers of Cobriza, Julcani and La Mejorada in Huancavelica, seizing abundant explosive material. This was one of the first Shining Path actions in the mining region of Huancavelica.
In December 1981, Shining Path carried out raids in three important mining centers in the department of Huancavelica: Cobriza, Julcani and La Mejorada. During these raids, the Shining Path took abundant explosive material from the mining facilities. This action was part of the first Shining Path operations in the mining region of Huancavelica, marking the beginning of their presence in the mining production centers of the central highlands. The explosive material obtained would later be used in several attacks against mining infrastructure and other facilities in the region.
