About Llochegua

Llochegua

The Llochegua Clashes were a series of armed confrontations that took place on the afternoon of Friday, July 21, 2017, in the Peruvian district of Llochegua within the framework of the narcoterrorist insurgency in the VRAEM, the specific location of the attack was in the Los Angeles area, located in the highway that connects the districts of Llochegua and Pichari—when members of the Peruvian National Police were carrying the drug trafficking leader Ali Cueva Rojas. The combat originated as a response by the insurgents to the destruction of their clandestine drug production laboratories. The joint command of the Vraem forces ordered the sending of a helicopter to the conflict area to provide air support to the police forces. The confrontation left nine police officers, as well as a prosecutor, injured, at the same time the drug trafficking leader who was trying to escape was captured again.
