A tornado accompanied by strong winds and heavy rain struck the southern Brazilian state of Paraná, killing six people, the state government has said.
The town of Rio Bonito do Iguacu was hit hardest late yesterday, with the state's civil defence agency reporting that over half of the urban area suffered roof collapses, along with multiple structural failures.
Roads were blocked and power lines damaged.
Authorities said 437 people were treated for injuries and about 1,000 were displaced. The nearby city of Guarapuava was also affected.
