Overview
- The blast struck late Thursday outside a house on Calle Los Sauces in La Rinconada, destroying the wooden garage door and shattering windows across the block.
- Authorities reported no deaths or injuries, with damage largely limited to glass and facades in about 16–17 nearby homes.
- PNP officers secured the area while UDEX and Criminalística carry out forensic analysis to identify the device and gather evidence.
- Neighbors say this is the second attack on the same property in recent months, a pattern consistent with extortion using charges placed by assailants on a motorcycle.
- Sucamec indicated the explosive may be mining-grade emulsion pending UDEX confirmation, as La Libertad records roughly 1,800 extortion complaints and more than 200 detonations this year.
