Residents of Morro do Fubá, in the North Zone of Rio de Janeiro, blocked the advance of Military Police vehicles during an operation on Tuesday, crossing cars and motorcycles in front of the teams and an armored vehicle. The action was carried out by agents from the 9th BPM (Rocha Miranda) and the 18th BPM (Jacarepaguá), resulting in one suspect shot, four people arrested and a man dead after feeling unwell, with probable cause of cardiac arrest. The PM stated that it "has stabilized the region and progressed with overt actions."
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.
