A tragic incident unfolded near Verona, Italy, early Tuesday, resulting in the deaths of three Carabinieri officers and injuries to 13 others during an eviction operation. Authorities reported that the explosion occurred at a two-story farmhouse in Castel d’Azzano, approximately 10 kilometers southwest of Verona. The explosion was allegedly triggered by a gas tank intentionally set off when law enforcement officers opened the door of the property. Verona’s Carabinieri commander, Col. Claudio Pagano, described the act as “an absolutely crazy gesture.” The farmhouse had been filled with gas, according to regional governor Luca Zaia, who also revealed that this was the second eviction attempt. The previous attempt last year was thwarted when the occupants, two middle-aged brothers and a sister, threatened to blow up the house. Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni and Defense Minister Guido Crosetto expressed their condolences for the fallen officers, emphasizing the critical role the Carabinieri play in Italy’s law enforcement.
