當地時間10月28日，巴西警方在里約熱內盧展開一場針對巴西最大販毒集團之一——“紅色司令部”的大規模剿匪行動，這次行動因規模龐大、衝突激烈而引發國內外高度關注。據官方通報，行動當天清晨開始後，警方與犯罪分子爆發激烈交火，至少56名嫌疑人被擊斃，81人被逮捕，同時有4名警員在行動中殉職，創下里約熱內盧州歷史上死傷最慘重的一次警務紀錄。

此次行動主要針對阿萊芒（Alemão）和佩尼亞（Penha）兩個社區發起，這些地區長期為毒品泛濫、非法武器流通的熱點，同時也是“紅色司令部”的核心據點。為了應對這次剿匪行動，警方調動多架直升機、裝甲車等先進設備。然而，犯罪分子也非等閒之輩，他們在社區內設置燃燒物築起街壘，與警方展開持續槍戰，甚至利用無人機向警察投擲炸彈。行動中，警方成功抓獲兩名地區頭目，並繳獲了31支步槍、2支手槍及9輛摩托車等作案工具，顯示這些犯罪集團裝備精良、組織嚴密。

巴西里約熱內盧州州長克勞迪奧·卡斯特羅在行動後表示，州政府將不會退縮，將持續運用戰略與技術手段，對毒品集團實施強力打擊，以保護公共安全。他強調，“我們將堅定不移地對抗毒品恐怖主義”，反映出當地政府對毒品犯罪的零容忍態度。

阿萊芒和佩尼亞社區長期以來治安惡劣，毒品交易、非法武器流通猖獗，居民生活深受其害。作為“紅色司令部”的主要據點，這些社區對里約乃至整個巴西的治安構成了嚴重威脅。此次警方大規模行動不僅是對犯罪集團的一次重大打擊，也彰顯了巴西政府在面對有組織犯罪和毒品暴力時的決心與行動力。然而，高死亡人數和警民傷亡也反映打擊有組織犯罪的高風險與複雜性，這場行動的影響和後續治安變化，將在未來一段時間內受到社會各界的密切關注。

On October 28, local time, Brazilian police launched a large-scale operation in Rio de Janeiro targeting one of the country’s largest drug trafficking organizations, the Comando Vermelho (Red Command). The operation, marked by intense clashes and high casualties, drew widespread attention both domestically and internationally. According to official reports, the early-morning raid resulted in at least 56 suspected gang members killed and 81 arrested, while four police officers lost their lives, making it the deadliest police operation in the history of Rio de Janeiro state.

The operation focused on the communities of Alemão and Penha, areas long plagued by rampant drug activity, illegal weapons, and organized crime, serving as key strongholds for the Red Command. To carry out the raid, police deployed multiple helicopters, armored vehicles, and other advanced equipment. The gangsters, however, mounted fierce resistance, constructing barricades with burning debris, engaging in continuous gunfire exchanges, and even using drones to drop explosives on law enforcement officers. During the operation, police captured two regional gang leaders and seized 31 rifles, 2 handguns, and 9 motorcycles, highlighting the group’s sophisticated armament and organized structure.

Rio de Janeiro state governor Cláudio Castro stated after the operation that the government would not back down and pledged to continue using strategic and technological measures to combat drug cartels. He emphasized, “We will remain unwavering in our fight against drug-related terrorism,” reflecting the state’s zero-tolerance stance toward organized crime.

The Alemão and Penha communities have long suffered from poor security conditions, widespread drug trafficking, and illegal weapon circulation, with residents living under constant threat. As major Red Command strongholds, these areas pose a significant risk to public safety in both Rio de Janeiro and across Brazil. The police operation not only dealt a major blow to the criminal organization but also demonstrated the government’s determination to confront organized crime. At the same time, the high number of casualties among suspects and law enforcement highlights the extreme risks and complexities involved in tackling entrenched criminal networks. The impact of this operation and subsequent changes in public security will be closely monitored in the weeks and months to come.
