At least 64 Killed in Rio's Largest Law Enforcement Operation on Organized Crime
A minimum of 64 civilians died in a law enforcement action against the criminal organization Comando Vermelho in Rio de Janeiro's northern suburbs - the most extensive and fatal action in the area's history.
Four police officers lost their lives during Operation Containment in the Alemão and Penha districts, state officials said. More than 80 suspects were detained.
Violent conflicts commenced when approximately 2,500 police forces entered the area on Tuesday early hours. The Comando Vermelho countered with armed resistance, setting fire to barriers and dropping bombs from drones, officials said.
