The reported incident involved several unidentified drones flying over Fort McNair, a tightly secured military post in Washington. The base is considered strategically important because of its location and the senior government and military figures connected to it. The sightings quickly triggered concern among officials because of the possibility that the drones could have been testing security vulnerabilities around a high-value site.
