Two explosions near the Brazilian Supreme Court (STF, for its Portuguese initials) in the capital Brasilia on Wednesday left one person dead. She stated that the person who died was the same person who had tried to enter the Supreme Court before the second explosion. Military police evacuated and closed off the surrounding areas, including the parking lot, the square, and the Supreme Court itself. The STF issued a communiqué saying that all ministers and court personnel were evacuated safely from the building after the explosions went off. Brazilian Attorney General Jorge Messias said that the Federal Police will act “swiftly and vigorously” in order to investigate the explosions.
