In November 1984, law enforcement forces set fire to the village of Oronqoy and killed 29 community members accused of being subversives. This event was part of a series of violent raids carried out by the Peruvian Army and the civilian defenses of Mollebamba in the Oreja de Perro area. The victims were executed under accusations of collaboration with Sendero Luminoso, in the context of the intensification of the internal armed conflict in the region. The attack on Oronqoy took place in the same month that another massacre occurred in Lucmahuaycco-Cusco, where approximately 40 subversives had entered the village, followed by the incursion of law enforcement forces that killed 10 community members.
