Troops and Helicopters in Milan Ahead of Expected Protests

A heavy security presence was deployed in the Italian city of Milan on Saturday as authorities prepared for anticipated demonstrations.

Soldiers and helicopters were part of the security preparations, which followed violence and looting a week earlier.

The unrest prompted the government to deploy 500 soldiers and introduce stricter security measures.

Saturday’s mobilisation came ahead of the expected protests, with authorities seeking to prevent a repeat of the disorder.
