According to the report, three carabinieri militarized police officers were killed and another 13 other carabinieri and police officers were injured in an explosion as law enforcement carried out an eviction near the northeastern Italian city of Verona early Tuesday, authorities said.According to Associated Press 2 middle-aged brothers and a sister were detained in connection to the explosion in the town of Castel d’Azzano, 10 kilometers southwest Verona, police said.“While our carabinieri were carrying out a judicial order, they were hit by an intentional explosion of a gas tank,’’ Verona’s carabinieri commander, Col. Claudio Pagano, told Sky TG24.

The report also said that the the two-story farmhouse had been filled with gas, and the explosion was set off when authorities opened the door, regional governor Luca Zaia told Sky TG24.It was the second time authorities attempted to evict the siblings, who had occupied the abandoned structure about a year ago.Another eviction attempt was thwarted last year when the siblings threatened to blow the house up, Zaia said.

From my perspective, what happened in Verona is a clear example of how violence and resistance can escalate situations that should be normal, such as a police operation. It is very sad that the officers lost their lives in an operation that sought to enforce the law, and also worrying that the brothers reached that level of desperation and violence. The story shows how tension and a lack of dialogue can lead to fatal consequences, and it makes us reflect on the importance of handling these conflicts with more care and sensitivity. The police have a difficult job, and in this case, violence has taken a very high toll. It is essential that the authorities conduct a thorough investigation and seek solutions to prevent situations like this from happening again in the future, because the loss of human life should never be the answer.

May those victims of the explosion rest in peace. This was already resolved by the police as to the cause of the explosion.
