A group of suspected guerrillas allied with drug traffickers staged the attack on the police station in Pujiura, a remote town in Peru’s Cuzco region, that left two officers wounded, the National Police said.

The rebels fired on the police station early Monday with long-range weapons from a nearby hill, taking advantage of a power outage caused by torrential rains in the area to stage the attack.

The attack was repelled by 14 officers who were at the station, which is in a town so remote that it lacks both landline and cellular phone service.

Reinforcements were sent later in the day from La Convencion to Pujiura, the National Police said.
