At Least 60 Killed in Rio de Janeiro Police Raid Ahead of Global Climate Summit Events

At least 60 people died, including four police officers, in an operation against organized crime in Rio de Janeiro on Tuesday (October 28), said a source from the Rio state government. Authorities said the fatalities that were not police officers were suspected of connections to drug trafficking. Rio will next week host the C40 summit of global mayors and Prince William's Earthshot Prize, which will feature celebrities including pop star Kylie Minogue and four-time Formula One world champion Sebastian Vettel. Both are part of the run-up to COP30, the United Nations climate summit taking place in Belem, northern Brazil, from November 10 to November 21. Large-scale police operations are not uncommon ahead of major international events in Rio, which hosted matches of the 2014 World Cup, the 2016 Olympics, the 2024 G20 summit, and the BRICS summit earlier this year. The state government described Tuesday's operation as the largest ever targeting the Comando Vermelho gang. At least 56 people have been arrested as authorities sought to serve 250 arrest and search warrants, the government added. Around 50 health and education facilities had their routines disrupted by the clashes, and bus routes had to be changed to avoid the gunfire. #RioDeJaneiro #Brazil #PoliceOperation #ClimateSummit #C40 #EarthshotPrize #COP30 #PrinceWilliam #BreakingNews #OrganizedCrime #RioNews #GlobalEvents --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dawn News English is your window into the latest news, insight, and features from South Asia and beyond.
