At least 22 people have died in the bloody aftermath of a raid carried out by Rio de Janeiro's military police on Tuesday.
Authorities said a gunfight broke out after police were shot at while preparing to enter Vila Cruzeiro, an underprivileged community where leaders of an alleged criminal group were suspected to have gathered.In an official note released by its press office on Tuesday night, Rio's military police said that although"necessary," the raid could not be considered successful given the loss of life.
The raid took place despite a June 2020 ban by the Brazilian Supreme Court on anti-drug operations in Rio de Janeiro's densely populated slum areas other than in"absolutely exceptional" circumstances during the coronavirus pandemic. The ruling was designed to avoid further straining public health and humanitarian services.The press office of Getulio Vargas Hospital told CNN that 21 people arrived dead at the hospital after the raid, and six others were admitted with injuries.
