RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil, Oct 29, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Residents of a favela in Rio 
de Janeiro lined up more than 40 bodies at a plaza in their low-income 
neighborhood on Wednesday, a day after the bloodiest police operation in the 
city's history, AFP reported.

The corpses were placed near one of the main roads in the Penha Complex. But 
there was no official confirmation yet about whether they were among the 60 
suspected members of a drug gang who were killed during Tuesday's massive 
counter-narcotics operation in two favelas in northern Rio.
