US detects drones over base where Rubio, Hegseth live, Washington Post reports

U.S. officials detected unidentified drones above an army base in Washington where Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth live, the Washington Post reported on Wednesday, citing three people briefed on the situation.



The officials have not determined where the drones came from, the report said, citing two of the people.



The drones over Fort McNair prompted officials to weigh relocating Rubio and Hegseth, the report said.



However, the secretaries have not moved, the report added, citing a senior administration official.



The newspaper said the U.S. military was monitoring potential threats more closely because of the heightened alert level over the U.S. and Israeli war against Iran.
