Developing: US air regulators on Friday (Nov 13) issued a rare nationwide ground stop for all departing flights, citing a communications problem affecting air traffic control towers. Federal Aviation Administration technicians are investigating the issue. US Homeland Security chief Markwayne Mullin said there was no indication the country was under threat. "This isn't another 9/11. I just can't repeat that enough." But asked if a cyberattack could eventually be found to be responsible, Mullin said officials were "not ruling out anything at this point". #usnews #aviationnews Subscribe to our channel here: https://cna.asia/youtubesub Visit our website: https://cna.asia Download our app: https://cna.asia/app Get our editors' picks of stories via chat apps: Telegram: https://cna.asia/telegram WhatsApp: https://cna.asia/whatsapp Follow us on these platforms: https://www.facebook.com/channelnewsasia https://www.instagram.com/channelnewsasia https://www.tiktok.com/@channelnewsasia
