Is Peru shooting off Scud missiles? There were reports in 1995-1996 that they had acquirred Scud B's: http://www.janes.com/security/international_security/news/misc/sws_scud010426.shtml

"Unconfirmed reports in 1995 and 1996 have suggested that `Scud B' missiles may have been purchased by Armenia, Ecuador, Pakistan, Peru and Democratic Republic of the Congo; but these might have been built in the former Soviet Union or elsewhere."

This fits very neatly to the observed facts; respertory symtems on those that approached the crater, flaming object falling from sky, big crater with metal debris around it.
It's no wonder that they are getting skin lesions if they are handling debris with RFNA on it.
Peru must have test fired one and it didn't come down where it was supposed to.
