Lima. Seis militares murieron ahogados en un río cuando intentaban escapar de manifestantes que los atacaron con piedras en la región peruana de Puno, epicentro de las protestas contra el gobierno que sustituyó en diciembre al encarcelado exmandatario Pedro Castillo.

El Ministerio de Defensa reportó este lunes el hallazgo de los seis miembros de la patrulla que desapareció el domingo en las caudalosas y heladas aguas del río Ilave, afluente del lago Titicaca (3.800 metros de altitud), en la frontera sur con Bolivia.
