"Unknown drone activity forced one of the U.S.'s most critical military installations to shut down for several hours late Friday evening and Saturday morning, officials confirmed.
The incident prompted heightened security measures and temporarily halted operations at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio.
Home to the 88th Air Base Wing, Wright-Patterson is one of the largest and most strategically important bases in the U.S., tasked with advanced research, intelligence, and operations.
In audio recordings by the Air Force Base air traffic control, which were shared online, an operator can be heard saying they are diverting 'over base' air traffic due to 'heavy unknown UAS [unmanned aircraft system] activity', adding to 'use extreme caution' as Wright-Patterson is 'now closed.'"
