RIO DE JANEIRO: At least 22 people, including four police officers, were killed in a large-scale operation against organized crime in Rio de Janeiro on Tuesday, the state government said, days before the Brazilian city is set to host major events related to the COP30 global climate summit. “We stand firm confronting narcoterrorism,” Governor Claudio Castro wrote on social media as he announced the operation, which he said involved 2,500 security personnel and 32 armored vehicles across the Alemao and Penha favela complexes.
