Evacuation of the US Embassy in London due to a security incident
Media reports indicate the evacuation of the US Embassy in London and the area being cordoned off
The report states that the US Embassy in London was closed following a security incident, and those present in the diplomatic mission were asked to stay away from the windows
Police dogs, at least two fire trucks, and police vehicles were seen outside the building
An eyewitness said that security forces are still assessing the situation and those inside the building have been moved to another part of it
He added that we don’t know much, only that a security incident has occurred and we need to stay away from the windows
The Evening Standard newspaper also quoted the Metropolitan Police saying that after receiving a report about a suspicious object placed around the US Embassy, a security alert was issued, but it turned out to be a false alarm
