The PCP-Sendero Luminoso attacked the Civil Guard police post in Tinta, province of Canchis, department of Cuzco. This attack was part of the first incursions of the PCP-SL in the high provinces of the department of Cuzco. The attack on Tinta occurred in the context of an escalation of subversive actions in the area, which also included the previous attack on the Camelid Technical Research Institute in La Raya, on the border with Puno, on July 27, 1983. These attacks marked the beginning of the conversion of the highland provinces into an important zone of internal armed conflict.
