Arabic version: حدائق كنسينغتون مغلقة للتحقيق من قبل الشرطة في العناصر المهملة

Kensington Gardens in London has been closed as police investigate a number of discarded items. According to BBC News, the closure is part of an assessment following a video that surfaced online. This video reportedly shows a group claiming to have targeted the nearby Embassy of Israel with drones carrying dangerous substances.

The Metropolitan Police confirmed that the embassy had not been attacked and are currently looking into the video’s source and authenticity. The entire park has been cordoned off and will remain closed throughout Friday as officers work to determine if the discarded items are linked to the claims made in the video.

Authorities have stated that while the situation may raise concerns among local residents and the public, they do not believe there is an increased public safety risk. A specialized team from the Metropolitan Police, focused on chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear threats, has been deployed near the park’s bandstand, alongside a fire investigation unit from the London Fire Brigade and a hazardous area response team from the London Ambulance Service.
