The police has blocked the street near the Russian Embassy in Washington due to a suspicious package thrown over the fence. A representative of the Washington police said this on Tuesday to TASS correspondents at the scene.
At the moment, officers do not allow anyone to enter the cordoned-off zone and are trying to find out if the object is dangerous. “It was thrown over the fence,” the policeman said.
Several fire trucks drove up to the building of the Russian Embassy. This is the standard US precautionary measure for detecting suspicious items.
The situation in the area of the Russian Embassy is calm. Additional details regarding the incident have not yet been reported.
