Brazil is preparing a task force of armed forces, police and government agencies to soon launch an operation to expel illegal gold miners who invaded the Yanomami Indigenous reservation, officials said on Tuesday.

With army troops on the ground, the navy will patrol rivers and confiscate miners’ boats and dredges while the air force will control the airspace, intercept suspicious planes and force them to land, Defence Minister Jose Mucio says.
