Police in Brazil say they have taken control of three poor districts in the city of Rio de Janeiro.
About 250 members of an elite police unit moved into the shantytowns, which have been virtual no-go areas for the security forces.
The operation is part of a long-term plan by the Brazilian authorities to retake poor areas of the city from drug gangs.
