A bombing at a nightclub in Peru has injured at least 33 people, including teenagers.
The explosion occurred early Saturday morning at the Dali nightclub in Trujillo – a province along Peru’s northern coast.
The region has recently been hit by violence and crime.
It is not yet clear who is responsible, and the motive remains unclear.
At least five of the injured people were in serious condition, said Gerardo Florian Gomez, executive director of the Trujillo Health Network.
Some of those undergoing surgery required amputations and treatment for shrapnel wounds.
Among the injured were a 16-year-old and two 17-year-olds, Gomez said.
Fiorella Mantilla, who was at the nightclub when the explosion occurred, told reporters that her foot was stuck in the glass and said “it sounded like the sound system had suddenly been turned off”.

The blast came less than a month after another explosion in the same city that damaged 25 homes but caused no injuries or deaths.
The La Libertad region is rife with extortion and illegal mining.
The region experienced 286 explosions in 2025, 136 of which occurred in the city of Trujillo, according to official figures.
In January 2025, an explosive device was detonated at the prosecutor’s office building in Trujillo.
In August and September, two explosions damaged dozens of homes and left more than 20 people injured.
Authorities said the incident was linked to an extortion scheme carried out by organized criminal gangs, including Los Pulpos, whose criminal activities have spread to Chile and other countries in the region.
