On December 26, 1988, at 00:15 am, twelve armed individuals dynamited the compressor house and a transformer at the Morococha mining camp. This attack was part of a series of actions perpetrated by Sendero Luminoso against Centromín Perú facilities during the 1988 Christmas season. The attacks occurred in the context of a mining labor conflict and after rumors of an armed strike in La Oroya, which in the end did not take place. This action was part of a broader PCP-SL strategy to affect the mining infrastructure in the central region of the country.
