Overview
- Gunmen on a motorcycle opened fire on El Rápido’s depot gate in San Martín de Porres, with police recovering eight shell casings and no injuries reported.
- El Rápido suspended operations after the attack, and roughly 80 vehicles halted service that day while police reviewed security footage.
- Days earlier, two assailants shot into the driver’s cabin of a San Germán bus, leaving at least 12 bullet impacts as the driver survived by diving to the floor.
- Gremios led by Martín Ojeda issued an ultimatum to call a 48-hour stoppage if any new attack occurs, and the National Drivers’ Association signaled it will join.
- Despite an emergency order in Lima and Callao since October 22, coverage cites at least 24 homicides in Lima and five in Callao, reinforcing claims that extortion and attacks persist.
