Overview
- Around 3:30 a.m. in Cusco, security cameras captured a man dousing a motorcycle shop with gasoline, igniting it, and catching fire before fleeing on his motorcycle.
- A woman and a child of about three inside the Cusco shop suffered burns and were aided by firefighters from Company 29.
- In Chaclacayo’s Morón area, an explosive device left inside a bodega detonated as the owner tried to remove it, leaving him hospitalized in reserved condition after hand surgery.
- Depincri Chosica cordoned the Chaclacayo scene and will request nearby security camera footage to determine who left the device.
- Police have not ruled out extortion in either case, with neighbors reporting prior threats against the Chaclacayo owner, though authorities have not confirmed any link between the incidents.
