US marks 25 years since 9/11 attacks
–
Neutral summary
The United States on September 11, 2026 commemorates the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, which killed nearly 3,000 people. Memorial ceremonies are being held across the country, featuring moments of silence, reading of victims' names, and wreath-laying at the World Trade Center site in New York. President Donald Trump is expected to attend a ceremony at the Pentagon rather than in New York. Over the past quarter-century, the attacks prompted a sweeping expansion of airport security measures, which, the reports note, have been partially rolled back in recent years as threats and technology evolved.
