The evacuation of the US Congress due to a possible threat

US police have ordered the evacuation of the Capitol building due to a potentially threatening aircraft.

Police explained that the evacuation of the Capitol complex this evening was for more caution, not more.

The US Capitol Police said there was no threat to the compound in Washington, DC, minutes after issuing a statement saying it was tracking a potentially threatening aircraft.

"There is no threat in the compound. We will provide you with more details," she said in a statement.

She indicated that the buildings are being prepared for the return of workers again.
