Police have arrested at least 400 people after supporters of Brazil's far-right former President Jair Bolsonaro stormed several government buildings in the country's capital Brasília, media reports said.
Three key buildings in the city- the Supreme Court, the presidential palace and the congressional building - were stormed by the supporters of the former President of the country.
The incident recalled memories of Jan 6, 2021 invasion of the US Capitol building by supporters of former president Donald Trump.
