JOINT BASE ANDREWS, Md. — Joint Base Andrews is back under security lockdown tonight, following numerous unconfirmed reports of rockets and explosions in the sky throughout the National Capital Region.
No casualties have yet been confirmed, but Security Forces are treating the reports as serious, and have begun rerouting air traffic to other local airbases until the security lockdown is lifted.
According to a Base Security Forces spokesman, the first calls came in shortly after sundown, with callers reporting “loud explosions” just outside the base. Not long after, more calls began pouring in from base DoD civilians, claiming to see “brilliant flashes of light in the sky.”
