Taking of Ñuñungayo
On July 11, 1982, militants of the PCP-Sendero Luminoso took over the town of Ñuñungayo in the district of Vilca, Huancavelica, assaulting the communal store. This was one of the first "village takeovers" in the Vilca basin, an area that would concentrate the highest rate of violence in the province.
On July 11, 1982, a group of subversives of the PCP-Sendero Luminoso took the town of Ñuñungayo, located in the district of Vilca, province of Huancavelica. During this raid, the Shining Path militants assaulted the village's communal store. This action is part of the first "town seizures" that the PCP-SL carried out in the Vilca basin since 1982, directed especially against the representatives of the "old power" such as mayors, lieutenant governors and justices of the peace. The Vilca basin, divided into the districts of Moya, Manta and Vilca, has since then concentrated the highest rate of violence in the province of Huancavelica.
