At least three people were killed and seven are missing following a New Year's Eve attack on informal miners in Peru's northern La Libertad region. This incident is the latest in a series of attacks targeting small-scale gold miners in the Andean nation, with a similar attack in May last year resulting in 13 deaths. Authorities believe criminal gangs are attempting to expand their control in the region.
