On 28 October 2025, Operation Containment, a large-scale police operation, was launched in the Penha and Alemão complexe by the Rio de Janeiro state government against the far-left terrorist group Comando Vermelho.

Intense confrontations occurred all day. Criminals set barricades ablaze and used drone-dropped bombs on special forces teams.

The operation, which had been planned a year earlier, was launched in the early morning to execute around 100 arrest warrants, with 250 more warrants decreed during the operation.

The teams that arrived at the locations in the morning faced strong retaliation from drug traffickers, who quickly erected barriers and barricades, some on fire, in various areas of the two complexes.

In retaliation, the criminals also used drones and bombs against the police.

[...]

In revenge, the gangs blocked several roads including the Avenida Brasil, Yellow and Red Lines using 71 stolen buses, which forced people to walk home. Healthcare, education and transportation were disrupted. Neighboring municipalities São Gonçal and Niterói were also affected by the blockades.

[...]

Approximately 2,500 police agents participated and executed hundreds of police warrants to arrest gang leaders in 26 communities in the North Zone of Rio de Janeiro.

Authorities jailed 113 people, including 33 criminals from other states, and seized roughly one ton of drugs and 93 rifles, including weapons from the armies of Venezuela, Argentina, Peru and Brazil itself.

The operation involved two helicopters, 12 demolition vehicles from the Military Police of Rio de Janeiro State's Special Police Operations Battalion (BOPE), 32 armored vehicles belonging to the National Public Security Force, and several ambulances; additionally, the Civil Police of Rio de Janeiro State mobilized all its specialized police units.
