Unidentified drones detected over Fort McNair, home to Rubio and Hegseth

Unidentified drones have been detected over a sensitive US military installation in Washington, raising security concerns, according to a report by The Washington Post.

The drones were spotted above Fort McNair, a military base that houses senior officials, including Marco Rubio and Pete Hegseth.

Citing sources, the report said that “several drones were observed over the military base on one of the nights in the past 10 days,” adding that US authorities have not yet determined their origin.

The incident has heightened concerns within the administration of Donald Trump about the possibility of retaliatory actions by Iran targeting officials on US soil.

In response, security measures at the base have been reinforced. Authorities also considered evacuating Rubio and Hegseth, although that step was ultimately not taken.

The situation was later reviewed at a meeting at the White House, where potential response options were discussed.
