American authorities detected drones above the Fort McNair military base in Washington, where Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth reside. The information was reported by the Washington Post, which mentioned that officials were unable to determine the origin of the drones. Their presence sparked discussions about the possible relocation of Rubio and Hegseth, but the two officials have not been moved, according to a senior administration official. This situation arises in a context of heightened alert, following tensions between the US, Israel, and Iran. The US military has intensified monitoring of potential threats, but the Pentagon and the State Department have not provided further comments. The Pentagon spokesperson declined to discuss the incident.
