Overview
- Videos shared around midday show a Policía Federal helicopter identified as H15 hovering over the National Congress and briefly setting down on a roof section near the dome.
- Policía Federal said the operation was an evacuation drill to measure response times, with an emphasis on transit between the force’s base and Hospital Churruca about 3.7 kilometers away.
- The Chamber of Deputies told Clarín the overflight formed part of preparations within a joint tactical training course and said the Congress security chief was notified.
- Images captured an officer disembarking onto the roof before the aircraft departed, fueling online speculation as the footage rapidly spread on social media.
- C5N journalist Abril Lassalle reported the exercise was ordered by Chamber president Martín Menem, a claim not reflected in the official statements released so far.
