Boston, Massachusetts (CNN) -- Authorities evacuated a cargo facility at the Boston Logan International Airport Tuesday after a search dog "hit" on two duffel bags, according to Massachusetts Port Authority spokesman Phil Orlandella.
The bags have mailing tags with Nigerian addresses, Orlandella told CNN.
"During a routine inspection in the Delta Cargo Building at Logan International Airport, a TSA canine alerted on a cargo palette. Out of an abundance of caution and per standard protocol, the building was evacuated," the Transportation Security Administration said in a statement.
The Massachusetts State Police said troopers were responding to a report of a suspicious package at the cargo facility, and had set up a security perimeter at the scene.
Explosives specialists are investigating the package, authorities said, and several other law enforcement agencies are also responding.
Delta officials were not immediately available for comment.
Last month, authorities discovered explosive devices in printer cartridges on cargo planes in the United Kingdom and Dubai. The packages had been sent from Yemen.
