TL;DR Summary

A man died by suicide after detonating explosives outside Brazil's Supreme Court in Brasilia, prompting the evacuation of justices and staff. The suspect had earlier set off explosives in a car in a Congress parking lot, which caused no injuries. Authorities are investigating the incident, with local media suggesting a possible connection to Brazil's Liberal Party. The blasts occurred in the Three Powers Plaza, a key government area, and have raised security concerns, leading to the temporary closure of Congress. The motive remains unclear, but the Supreme Court has been a target for far-right groups in recent years.
