The Office of the Prime Minister of Great Britain announced the security of Fairford airbase

British Prime Minister Andy Burnham's office insists RAF Fairford is safe despite a suspected terrorist attack and the departure of US bombers.

Earlier, the Wall Street Journal, citing American officials, reported that the United States, after the incident at the Fairford base, withdrew all B-1 stealth bombers from it for security reasons. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio assured that the withdrawal of American bombers from the Fairford base in the UK is associated with a planned rotation.

Sky News contacted the Downing Street press service to ask whether the base was safe. The press service, according to the channel, answered the question in the affirmative.

The office declined to comment on whether Burnham discussed the situation with US President Donald Trump. Downing Street also stressed that the government's position regarding the base has not changed, and that US bombers could return there if an appropriate decision is made.

British police reported a "major incident" near RAF Fairford on September 27. Five British citizens were detained on suspicion of involvement in terrorism and explosives-related offenses and were released on bail the next day. On October 1, a man with dual Iranian-British citizenship was detained.
