Peru Tightens Security at Tacna Border After Kast’s Election

Officials report calm transit with no irregular crossings at the official checkpoint.

Overview

  • About 50 National Police officers were deployed along both sides of the main international road to reinforce order and migration controls.
  • Armed Forces patrols were stepped up in remote desert areas, particularly near boundary markers 15 and 18, to prevent unauthorized entries.
  • The improvised migrant camp on the Chilean pampa was found cleared and empty after cleanup operations removed tents and belongings.
  • Authorities said traffic through the formal crossing proceeded normally with no incidents or detections of undocumented entries in recent hours.
  • The reinforced posture followed Chile’s election and drew on-site coverage from local and Chilean media as monitoring continues.
