: Brazil’s government on Wednesday ordered the deployment of soldiers at several airports and ports across the country, to bolster the fight against criminal militias and drug smuggling, reported Xinhua.

The federal police will be reinforced by the military at several airports and ports in the sprawling eastern cities of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, according to the decree. A total of 3,700 army, air force and navy personnel are to be deployed. Last week, at least 35 buses were torched in western Rio after a prominent member of the city’s largest militia was killed by police.
