- The court instructed that the capture order be notified to Peru’s National Police, judicial requisitions units, and Interpol for international dissemination.
- Chávez remains inside the Mexican ambassador’s residence in Lima as an acknowledged political asylee, and Mexico formally reiterated its request for a salvoconducto.
- Peru’s foreign ministry told Mexico it will honor diplomatic immunities, confirming the inviolability of Mexican premises, property, and archives; police presence around the site was reinforced.
- Regional repercussions grew after Colombia’s President Gustavo Petro warned he would withdraw his mission from Lima if Peru carries out an aggression against the Mexican embassy, following Peru’s earlier rupture of ties with Mexico.
