Clashes Erupt Between Protesters and Police at Australian Defense Expo | CISNewsStudio1s

On Wednesday, protesters clashed with police at a major defense expo in Melbourne, Australia, leading to dozens of arrests. The demonstrations escalated as some protesters set fire to trash cans, targeted police horses, and police responded with pepper spray, according to local media reports.

The protest, described as the largest in Melbourne in decades, involved around 1,200 people who attempted to block access to the Land Forces international exposition. Police officers struggled to control the crowd, many of whom were waving Palestinian flags and chanting pro-Palestinian slogans, calling for an end to violent conflict, CNN affiliate 9 News reported.
