The city of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil is in complete chaos as around 2,500 Brazilian police and soldiers launched a massive raid on a drug trafficking gang.

Footage on social media showed flames and smoke as gunshots were heard. The city's Education Department said 46 schools in the two neighborhoods were closed, and the nearby Federal University of Rio de Janeiro canceled classes and told people on campus to seek shelter.

Brazilian police said Tuesday's operation followed a year-long investigation into the criminal group.

The Rio state government said at least 72 rifles and a large amount of drugs were seized.

Emerging from Rio's prisons, the Red Commando criminal gang has expanded its control over the favelas in recent years.
