At to the lowest degree 64 people feature died in a monolithic law bust in Rio de Janeiro on Tuesday, CNN Brasil wrote citing state security forces. Among those killed at least 60 people believed to be criminals, two civil police officers, and two military police officers.
Rio de Janeiro State Governor Cláudio Castro said that the death toll may rise as the operation is ongoing.

Não, isso não é a Faixa de Gaza.É o Rio de Janeiro, o coração de um país que perdeu o controle do próprio território.Hoje foi guerra urbana, guerra de verdade.

At least 81 people have been arrested so far. Two suspects who were shot are in custody at Penha Hospital, CNN Brasil added. In total, approximately 2,500 police officers were involved in the operation.
Rio de Janeiro authorities regularly conduct raids in favelas as part of the fight against organized crime. The current operation, however, is the deadliest in the city’s history.
