A man attempted to enter Brazil’s Supreme Court on Wednesday, leading to a self-inflicted explosion that forced the evacuation of justices and staff. The incident occurred in Brasília, outside the iconic Plaza of the Three Powers where the Supreme Court is located. Authorities have identified the man as the lone perpetrator in the attack.

Security personnel quickly responded to the scene, ensuring the area was evacuated and secure. Law enforcement combed through the site to confirm there were no additional threats. The explosive device the man used reportedly detonated during his attempt to breach the court, resulting in his death.

Witnesses described hearing two distinct explosions. The initial blast was followed by a second, louder explosion that caused panic among bystanders and prompted the immediate evacuation of the court. The entire process was executed swiftly, with law enforcement and emergency responders arriving promptly.

Officials stated that the motive behind the attack remains unclear, but investigations are ongoing. Authorities are reviewing surveillance footage and any available evidence to understand the perpetrator’s intentions. The method of the attack and the explosives used are being scrutinized by bomb experts from the federal police.

The Supreme Court building was quickly cordoned off, and court activities were suspended. Justices and staff were escorted to safety, with no injuries reported among them. The evacuation process was orderly, reflecting well-practiced emergency protocols.

The Brazilian government, led by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, has expressed its commitment to ensuring the safety of its judicial institutions. The President was not present at the palace during the incident but has been kept informed about the ongoing investigation.

The attack has raised concerns about security in key government areas, especially with the upcoming G20 summit. Security measures are expected to be heightened as a result of this incident. Experts suggest that the attack could indicate a growing need for enhanced surveillance and security measures around critical government infrastructures.

In response to the incident, there has been an increased presence of law enforcement in Brasília. This presence is intended to reassure the public and prevent any further incidents. Federal police are collaborating with local authorities to ensure comprehensive security coverage in the city.

Local residents expressed shock and concern over the attack. Some witnesses recounted their experiences of the explosions and the subsequent evacuation. Many expressed relief that the situation was handled without further casualties.
