At least 64 people died on Tuesday October 28th 2025 in Rio de Janeiro’s most deadly police operation ever, which targeted a major gang days before the city hosts global events related to the United Nations climate summit known as COP30.
Police have often conducted large-scale operations against criminal groups ahead of major events in Rio.
The death toll, confirmed by Rio Governor Claudio Castro on Tuesday, was more than twice the city’s most deadly previous police operation.
The massive operation involved 2,500 security personnel across two favela complexes near the city’s international airport.
Rio’s favelas are poor, densely populated settlements woven through the city’s hilly oceanside terrain.
The governor confirmed 81 arrests, and authorities are looking to serve 250 arrest and search warrants.
Civil society groups have criticized the heavy casualties in a military-style operation.
