- A powerful tornado struck Rio Bonito do Iguaçu, Parana state, on Friday, November 7, 2025, killing at least six people and injuring more than 400, the Parana state government said.

- Civil Defence officials estimated about 90% of Rio Bonito do Iguaçu suffered damage; aerial imagery shows flipped vehicles, flattened buildings, blocked roads, and disrupted power lines and water supply.
- Federal ministers Gleisi Hoffmann and Adriano Massuda are travelling to coordinate relief while Ratinho Junior, Governor of Parana, mobilised security forces and declared a state of public calamity.
- Rescue and search teams continue combing debris for survivors as officials warn missing persons could rise, while severe weather hits Parana and neighbouring states amid the COP30 climate summit in Belém.
