Temuco, Chile: Chile President Gabriel Boric on Thursday (Friday in Manila) began his first visit to the southern Araucania region that has been wracked by violence linked to radical Indigenous groups.

Leftist Boric deployed soldiers to the region and reimposed emergency measures earlier this year following a spate of arson attacks.
