Eighteen buses were placed across important roads in the North Zone of Rio as barricades by criminals, in retaliation for a Military Police operation in the hills of Campinho and Fubá. The blockades occurred on Rua Clarimundo de Melo, Rua Ernani Cardoso, in Cascadura, and on Avenida Dom Hélder Câmara, affecting 33 bus lines, plus three other lines diverted in Água Santa, totaling 36 altered routes. The PM reported that teams are carrying out a joint operation to crack down on organized crime, and armed criminals engaged in a shootout with officers and fled into a forested area, where a perimeter is being established. A pistol has been seized so far.
Infraestruturas de Portugal announced that traffic on the Spanish road at the Monfortinho border, in Idanha-a-Nova, is prohibited for heavy vehicles for 15 days, between 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM.
Sérgio Santos, commander of firefighters in Saudi Arabia with experience in rescue operations, warned of a very high risk of infection in areas affected by the flood in Nepal and Tibet. According to the specialist, the lack of adequate protection equipment among teams participating in the removal of victims significantly increases the health danger in flooded areas.
An avalanche of ice and rock on the border between Nepal and Tibet is believed to have caused a massive flood that has already killed hundreds of people in Nepal, leaving a trail of mud and destruction wherever the water passed, devastating several regions of the country.
A sudden mud flood swept through the Gyirong port in China on August 26, following a severe natural disaster in neighboring Nepal. Videos capture the moment when a torrent of mud and debris invades and engulfs the border trade center, causing destruction in the region.
