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.
