The building of the US Congress was evacuated today, and the White House was blocked after information that a plane was flying over the city, with the crew of which they were unable to establish communication. The Secret Service declared an end to the alert.

The most important facilities in the capital of the United States of America were briefly blocked or, like the Congress, evacuated after a plane was spotted over the capital with which air traffic control was unable to establish communication.

Soon after, the Air Force raised fighters, and a helicopter was hovering around the White House, according to the Washington media, ready to evacuate the staff of Donald Trump's administration in case of need, reports RTS.

However, it turned out that the alarm was false, and the Secret Service, in charge of the security of the American president, announced that it was a smaller plane, with the pilot of which, for unknown reasons, it was not possible to establish communication.
