The death toll from a massive police operation in Rio de Janeiro has risen to 121, including four police officers, according to figures released Wednesday by state authorities. The two-day operation in the favela complexes is now the deadliest in the state\u2019s history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The raid, which began Tuesday, mobilized about 2,500 civil and military police officers in a large-scale crackdown against the Red Command, one of Brazil\u2019s most powerful criminal organizations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The operation caused widespread disruption across Rio\u2019s North Zone, including road closures, halted bus services, and the suspension of classes in 83 schools, according to officials cited by g1<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Residents reported finding dozens of bodies in wooded areas, according to g1. Police said 63 bodies were recovered during searches in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rio de Janeiro\u2019s Secretary of Military Police, Marcelo de Menezes, said officers employed a tactic known as the \u201cBOPE Wall,\u201d in which special operations teams surrounded suspects in the nearby mountain area and forced them toward the woods, where other units were positioned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Footage shared by residents, police, and armed groups showed scenes resembling an urban war zone, with hundreds of gunshots through the favelas and multiple fires burning amid the clashes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The operation, called Containment, began after more than a year of investigation into the Red Command\u2019s activities. Authorities previously reported 81 arrests and the seizure of 93 rifles, more than half a ton of drugs, and multiple drones and explosives used by the group.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
