A suspicious object was found near the U.S. Embassy in Britain this morning (22nd) local time, and police caused an explosion under control and handled it.
The Metropolitan Police Department said no casualties were reported in the incident and that it was blocking nearby roads and inspecting objects as a precaution.
The U.S. Embassy said it returned to normal operation after the blast was processed.
However, he announced that all consular and work-related reservations scheduled for today will be canceled.
The U.S. Embassy in the U.K. had previously been in the Mayfair area of central London before moving to "Nine Elms" in south London in 2018.
