LONDON — British police carried out a controlled explosion Friday near the U.S. Embassy in London as they investigated reports of a suspicious package in the area.

No one was injured. A road on the western side of the embassy was closed.

London’s Metropolitan Police Service said it is continuing to investigate the incident.

“Local authorities are investigating a suspicious package outside the U.S. Embassy in London,” the Embassy said in a statement on X, formerly known as Twitter.

“Met Police are present and have closed Ponton Road out of an abundance of caution.”
