LIMA (AFP) ― An isolated Peruvian village in the Amazon rainforest that came under attack by indigenous people wielding bows and arrows is being evacuated by boat, authorities said Wednesday.

Last week some 200 members of the Mashco-Piro ethnic group assaulted Monte Salvado, a small village near Peru’s border with Brazil.

The Mashco-Piro attacked twice, killing villagers’ pets and livestock and carting off food, machetes, pots, pans and rope, according to the government.

There were no reports of injuries but frightened villagers have since been sheltering in a lookout post, prompting authorities to evacuate Monte Salvado and the nearby village of Puerto Nuevo.
