Several individuals at the US military base located in Maryland that houses Air Force One have become unwell following the delivery of a suspicious package, as reported by various media outlets.
An edifice within Joint Base Andrews had to be cleared out after a person uncovered white powder upon opening the said package, as per sources cited by CNN. Additionally, political “propaganda” was allegedly concealed within the package.
Emergency responders swiftly arrived on the scene and confirmed no immediate danger. However, authorities at the base have initiated an investigation, prompting a lockdown as a precautionary measure.
The specific symptoms experienced by the affected individuals at the airbase are still undisclosed. The package was received just a day after Donald Trump’s visit to the base.
The US president frequently utilizes the Marine One helicopter to travel from The White House to the military base before departing on Air Force One for international journeys.
Moreover, the base is home to the C-130 Hercules aircraft used for cargo operations and the KC-135R Stratotanker refueling tanker.
