Explosive Attack Damages Carabayllo Home as Notes Threaten Venezuelans

Investigators are examining ties to a similar blast reported in the district last week.

Overview

  • A device detonated at the front of a two-story house on 3 de Octubre in Jardines de Carabayllo in the early hours of Tuesday.
  • The blast destroyed the metal gate, shattered second-floor windows, and damaged the sidewalk and a gas box cover, prompting alarm across nearby blocks.
  • No injuries were reported, and four minors along with an elderly resident inside the home were unharmed.
  • Officers from the El Progreso police station cordoned the area and UDEX specialists began forensic work as an investigation proceeded.
  • Handwritten notes at the scene threatened Venezuelan migrants and warned landlords and employers, while the homeowner denied renting to foreigners as police assess a link to the Sept. 26 Carabayllo incident.
