The area was quickly isolated by security forces on Wednesday night (13) and the STF building was evacuated.
At around 7:30 pm this Wednesday (13), two explosions occurred near the Federal Supreme Court () and resulted in the death of one person, whose body is still at the scene. The area was quickly isolated by security forces, including the Fire Department, Military Police, Federal Police and Legislative Police. The explosion was heard during a press conference held by the federal deputy at Palácio do Planalto. Initially, the severity of the incident was unclear, but the rapid arrival of security forces and the movement of people confirmed the seriousness of the event. In immediate response, the STF building was evacuated.
Information about the explosion is still preliminary, and the name of the victim has not been released. Authorities are on site to collect more data about the incident, seeking to understand whether the deceased person was responsible for the explosion or whether he was a victim. The situation is worsened by the intense rain that falls over Brasília, making it difficult for emergency teams to approach and work in the isolated area.
In a note, the STF said:
At the end of the STF session this Wednesday (13), two loud bangs were heard and the ministers were safely removed from the building. Servers and employees from the headquarters building were removed as a precautionary measure. More information about the investigations must await the development of the facts. STF Security collaborates with the DF police authorities.
