A pre-dawn bombing at the Dali nightclub in Trujillo, Peru, injured 33 people Saturday, including three teenagers. Health officials report that at least five victims are in serious condition, with some requiring surgeries for shrapnel wounds and amputations.
While no group has claimed responsibility, the attack occurred in a region heavily impacted by extortion and illegal mining.
Local data reveals a staggering 136 explosions occurred in Trujillo alone during 2025, highlighting a surge in organized criminal activity. Authorities are currently investigating the motive, though the blast follows a pattern of recent explosive attacks targeting businesses and residences in the La Libertad province.
