  • - General Ricardo Espinoza Cuestas was named to lead the La Libertad region, with his posting taking effect after the resolution is published in El Peruano.
  • - The interior minister presented 500 officers for permanent duty in Trujillo to raise street patrols under the ongoing state of emergency.
