特勤局在白宮院內發現飛行“裝置”

A spokesman for U.S. President Barack Obama says the Secret Service has recovered a "device" believed to be a small drone on the grounds of the White House.

Josh Earnest told reporters traveling with Mr. Obama and his wife, Michelle, in New Delhi Monday that the device did not appear to be an ongoing threat to anyone at the White House.

He did not say exactly where it was found, and said the Secret Service would provide more information when available.

It was not immediately clear if the Obamas' two daughters were home at the time.

The incident caused authorities to restrict access to the White House complex.美國總統奧巴馬的發言人歐內斯特說，特勤局人員在白宮院內發現一個據信是小型無人機的“裝置”。

歐內斯特星期一對隨同奧巴馬和第一夫人米切爾訪問印度的記者說，這個裝置看上去並不對白宮的任何人構成威脅。

他沒有透露發現這個裝置的具體位置，只是說，特勤局會隨時提供更多資訊。

目前還不清楚當時奧巴馬的兩個女兒是否在白宮。

事情發生後，有關當局對通往白宮的道路進行了限制。
