Overview
- On Sunday the bus carrying Las Estrellas de la Cumbia was shot on the Panamericana Norte in Los Olivos, leaving three people wounded and security cameras captured the attack while band members said they had received extortion threats months earlier.
- A Civa interprovincial coach was shot at on Saturday night on the same highway with no injuries reported and police said the assailants fled on a motorcycle, prompting investigators to probe whether the incident is part of a coordinated campaign against transport operators.
- In the Callao a man was shot inside a vehicle on Sunday and criminalistics teams recovered at least ten shell casings at the scene as medics took the victim to hospital for treatment.
- Rescue crews also handled major traffic emergencies over the weekend, including an AeroDirecto bus that slipped into a two‑meter ditch at the Jorge Chávez airport entrance and a couple trapped after a violent crash on the Vía Expresa that required a 35‑minute extrication.
- Police and Peritos de Criminalística are processing camera footage and ballistic evidence while transport companies, performers, and local officials request increased protection and investigators warn the pattern of attacks could force route changes, higher security costs, or event suspensions.
