On the night of August 21, 1986, a detachment of the PCP-SL tried to take the town of Uchiza. The population confronted the subversive detachment, forcing it to retreat. This failed attempt to take the town occurred in the context of the growing presence of the PCP-Sendero Luminoso in the Huallaga basin. Despite this setback, the PCP-SL continued its actions in the area and later managed to dominate it, as evidenced by the installation of open Popular Committees.
