Minot Air Force Base has cancelled its open house event scheduled for today, citing global events and heightened safety protocols.
In a statement, base officials stressed that there is no specific threat to the base or the Minot area. However, due to force protection considerations, the decision was made to cancel the event out of an abundance of caution.
“We thank the public for your support and understanding,” the statement read. “We look forward to hosting an even bigger and better event in the future.”
With escalating conflict between Israel and Iran, along with recent political violence in Minnesota, there is a whole a range of “global events” that may have influenced this decision.
