A bombing at the Dalí nightclub in Trujillo, Peru, injured 33 people, including minors, early Saturday morning. The explosion occurred in a region plagued by recent violence and crime, though the perpetrator and motive remain unknown. At least five victims are in serious condition, suffering from amputations and shrapnel wounds. Among the injured are three minors aged 16 and 17. The blast follows another explosion in the same city less than a month prior, which damaged homes but caused no injuries. The La Libertad region, where Trujillo is located, is experiencing increased crime due to the expansion of organized criminal groups involved in activities like extortion and illegal mining.
