Police raid strands tourists on Rio peak

Around 200 tourists were temporarily stranded on Morro Dois Irmãos, a well-known hiking peak in Rio de Janeiro's Vidigal area, after a police raid targeting the Comando Vermelho, one of Brazil's largest criminal gangs. Gunfire erupted during the operation, forcing the visitors to take cover and halting their descent. The incident highlights the challenges of conducting major security operations in densely populated tourist areas. Authorities have not yet reported any casualties among the tourists or police.
