Peru protests: Demonstrators try to storm airport, block border with Bolivia

At least one person was killed and 10 more were injured on Friday after protesters attempted to storm a Peruvian airport and clashed with police and the army, according to local media.

Armed forces fired tear gas and shots in the air to disband the group of supporters of former president Pedro Castillo.

At the Peruvian-Bolivian border in Desaguadero, trucks blocked the roads as demonstrators continued to call for the resignation of President Dina Boluarte.

Boluarte spoke in Lima, calling for peace while condemning vandalism that had taken place during past several days of political turmoil.

Meanwhile, protesters also took to the street in Lima to demonstrate against the violence and what some called "terrorism" in the country.
