Trujillo: At least 31 people were injured in an explosion at a nightclub in northern Peru's La Libertad region early Saturday. The explosion occurred inside the "Dali" nightclub in the Victor Larco Herrera district of Trujillo and is being investigated by authorities as a possible criminal attack.
According to Emirates News Agency, local health official Gerardo Florian stated that the injured, including three minors, were evacuated to hospitals for medical treatment. The incident has raised concerns about safety in the area, prompting investigations to determine the cause and intent behind the explosion.
Local media noted that the venue was targeted in a tear gas bomb attack weeks ago during Valentine's Day celebrations. The previous incident has added a layer of complexity to the ongoing investigation, as officials consider whether the two events are connected.
