US Congress evacuated due to “aerial threat”.
Congressional police say the entire complex must be evacuated because of a threatening aircraft approaching the congressional building.
US media reported on Thursday morning that the US Congress building had been evacuated following a security incident.
According to these reports, this security incident is related to the “air threat” that caused the evacuation of the Congress building.
“We are tracking down an aircraft that poses a potential threat to Congress,” U.S. Congressional Caucus police said in a statement. “All buildings are being evacuated.”
Minutes later, Congressional police announced that the White House had been declared white following a possible air threat to the complex.
The US security apparatus fears of a possible attack on Congress coincide with a new US poll showing that about 57% of Americans are afraid of a repeat attack.
On January 6, the US Congress was counting the votes of the Electoral College to approve the results of the November 3 presidential election, which Trump called on his supporters to hold so-called peaceful protests after several US lawmakers protested the Arizona vote. .
