The post captures footage from Brazil's deadliest police operation on October 28, 2025, in Rio de Janeiro's Alemão and Penha favelas, where 2,500 officers targeted the Comando Vermelho gang amid intense firefights and drone-launched explosives by criminals.

Video shows aerial views of multiple fires and thick smoke rising over hillside communities, illustrating the urban warfare that resulted in 64 deaths, including four police officers, and 81 arrests with over 75 rifles seized.

This raid, dubbed "Operação Contenção," escalates Brazil's ongoing battle against organized crime, with gangs adopting drone technology for attacks, a tactic documented in recent peer-reviewed studies on Latin American narco-innovations.
