Explosions outside Brazil's Supreme Court leave 1 dead, force justices to evacuate

Two explosions outside Brazil’s Supreme Court killed a man and forced the justices and staff to evacuate the building in the capital of Brasilia. The court said in a statement that two very strong blasts were heard at about 7:30 p.m. local time, shortly after Wednesday’s session finished. It added all justices and staff left the building safely after the incident. Police had earlier said an artifact exploded outside the court. Local firefighters later confirmed that one man died at the scene, but did not identify him. The blasts took place in Brasilia’s Three Powers Plaza, an area where Brazil’s main government buildings are located.
