March 19, New Delhi: Officials detected unidentified drones flying above an army base in Washington. Fort McNair, where Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth are based, was under observation.
According to a report citing two sources, officials have not determined the origin of the drones. The sightings prompted officials to consider relocating Rubio and Hegseth, although the secretaries have not been moved.
The newspaper reported that the U.S. military is monitoring potential threats more closely due to heightened alert levels amid the U.S. and Israeli conflict with Iran.
