Drone alarm in England. Base personnel where US soldiers are located were instructed to move to shelters

An alarm was raised after a suspicious drone was detected near the Royal Air Force (RAF) Lakenheath Military Air Base, which hosts US army elements in England. In the news reflected in the British press, it was stated that US military personnel were instructed to move to shelters due to the possible security threat. It was claimed that the alarm message sent to the base personnel included the phrase "real threat" in red letters and a large font at the beginning.

An official from the US Air Force stated in his statement regarding the situation that security forces took action on suspicion of unauthorized UAV activity over RAF Lakenheath. It was noted that no personnel, aircraft or military infrastructure were damaged in the incident. It was reported that the US Air Force continues to work in coordination with British authorities to ensure security at the base and its surroundings.

British Deputy Nick Timothy stated in his statement on his social media account that he contacted the authorities, that there is no danger to the public at the moment and that the problem has been resolved.

IT WAS ALLEGED THAT THE USA EVACUATED WAR PLANES FROM ANOTHER BASE

The incident follows reports that the US military evacuated some warplanes from RAF Mildenhall base in England on Monday following allegations of a security threat linked to Iran. It was claimed that at least 2 of the aircraft in question were deployed to RAF Lakenheath Base.

Last month, it was reported that the USA sent the bombers at the RAF Fairford base in England back to the USA due to Iran-related threats.
