One person has been found dead following two explosions near Brazil’s Supreme Court and Congress in Brasilia, CNN Brasil reports. One explosion took place outside the Supreme Court while the other occurred on a street next to Annex 4 of the nearby Congress, according to CNN Brasil. One person was killed in the explosions, CNN Brasil said, citing the Executive Secretary for Public Safety of Brasilia.
