From AFP News Agency.
Police launched their biggest ever raids on Rio de Janeiro’s drug traffickers, leaving at least 64 dead in war-like scenes, including four police officers.
As many as 2,500 heavily armed officers, backed by armoured vehicles, helicopters and drones took part in the operation in two poor neighbourhoods, or favelas, in northern Rio.
The UN human rights office said it was "horrified" by the police raids, calling for swift investigations.
