Peru police destroy illegal mining equipment worth S/1.3M in Madre de Dios

Peruvian police (PNP) destroyed boats, engines, fuel, and camps used for illegal gold mining in the Balata sector, Inambari, Madre de Dios. This is a routine enforcement action against informal mining, which is a persistent issue in the region. The operation signals continued government crackdown but does not indicate a major shift in policy or market impact.
