PCP-SL dynamiting attack against Centromín Perú's compressor house in Morococha

On December 26, 1988, the PCP-Sendero Luminoso carried out one of the biggest attacks in Morococha, dynamiting the compressor house of Centromín Perú. This attack had serious consequences for the mine workers, who were paralyzed for 15 days due to the lack of compressed air necessary for the operation of the machinery and ventilation in the mineshafts. After this attack, the PCP-SL gained more opponents than it already had among the mine workers. The attack was part of a series of dynamite attacks that Sendero Luminoso carried out against Centromín Perú's installations in the region during that period.
