     UK police said today that its officers had carried out a controlled explosion after “a suspicious package” was found outside the United States embassy in London.

    The capital’s Metropolitan Police force conducted the explosion after setting up cordons near the high-security site in Nine Elms, just south of the River Thames.
    “We can confirm that the ‘loud bang’ reported in the area a short time ago was a controlled explosion carried out by officers,” the force said in a post on X.
    “Enquiries are still ongoing and cordons will remain in place for the time being.”
