The operation led by the civilian police was aimed at a drug gang that worked within the Coreia slum, known as a favela, in the Senador Camara neighbourhood, according to preliminary official reports.
The authorities did not immediately give details of the raid and did not say whether any police officers or passers-by were among those killed.
