- Traffic halted on surrounding roads
Following the incident, Pennsylvania Avenue and nearby streets were closed to both pedestrian and vehicle traffic. Police teams directed citizens away from the security zone and implemented precautions at nearby public buildings as a potential risk measure.
- Contents of the package remain unknown
Authorities have not yet made a statement about the contents of the package. The bomb disposal unit on site is examining the package safely to determine the level of threat. While initial findings have not been shared with the public, no explosions or injuries have been reported.
In recent years, security units in the U.S. have frequently been put on alert due to suspicious packages sent to various government institutions. In 2018, explosive-laden parcels sent to political figures nationwide led to increased security measures. In early 2025, another package found near the Capitol was determined to be harmless after thorough investigation.
Secret Service and FBI Working Jointly
The investigation is being conducted jointly by the Secret Service, FBI, and the Washington DC Police Department. Security officials are reviewing surveillance footage and witness statements to determine whether the incident has any ties to terrorism. Authorities emphasized the importance of being cautious about unverified information and claims circulating on social media. It was stated that such incidents around the White House trigger maximum security procedures and that the situation is under control.
