Panic in Washington as multiple drones hover over military base housing Rubio, Hegseth:
Multiple unidentified drones were spotted over a military base in Washington, DC where US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reside.
The incident has sent panic in Washington prompting a White House meeting and heightened security measures, The Washington Post reported on Wednesday.
The drones were detected over Fort McNair on a single night in the last 10 days and their origin has not been determined, two sources told the news outlet.
The sightings prompted officials to consider relocating Rubio and Hegseth, though neither has moved, a senior administration official told the Post.
The military has been operating at a higher alert level since the start of US-Israeli strikes on Iran on February 28, according to a senior administration official.
