US Naval Air Station Sigonella on Lockdown

The U.S. Naval Air Station Sigonella in Sicily, Italy, was placed on lockdown due to an unspecified 'ongoing situation' at an entry control point. This situation led to a shelter-in-place order, with personnel directed to follow security instructions and avoid specific areas like the highway SP105 near the Marinai Housing Complex. The base, a critical logistics hub for U.S. and NATO operations, has secured inbound and outbound traffic at its entry points. The incident remains unclear, with updates expected as the situation develops. Naval Air Station Sigonella is jointly operated by the U.S. Navy and Italian Air Force, hosting key military assets including reconnaissance aircraft and drones.
