Overview
- Movistar reported that a deliberate cut to its fiber-optic line on Avenida Asturias in La Molina left fixed internet and telephony users in La Molina, Chaclacayo, Ate, Santa Clara and Chosica without service.
- Technical teams were dispatched to repair the damaged fiber and restore services, and technicians discovered a separate attempt to manipulate another underground chamber at the Aragón and Asturias intersection during those repairs.
- The company said this July 1 incident adds to two acts of vandalism over the prior weekend in La Molina that also disrupted fixed and mobile services.
- Movistar has filed formal complaints with police and prosecutors, stressing that damage to telecom infrastructure can hinder emergency communications and urging the public to report suspicious tampering with cables, manholes or chambers.
- Restoration is ongoing and local outlets rely on Movistar statements for updates; there are no public reports yet of arrests or the progress of the official investigation.
