Thirty countries support the United Kingdom's accusation against Iran for the attempted attack on the Fairford base

British Prime Minister Andy Burnham accused Iran, with "very high probability", of being behind an alleged attempted attack on Fairford air base, pointing to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. A joint statement from nearly thirty countries backed the accusation, condemning Iran's hybrid activities. Iran denied involvement and offered to collaborate in the investigation. Seven British men aged between 23 and 25 were arrested and released on bail as suspects. The United Kingdom imposed sanctions on two individuals for espionage and preparation of attacks on behalf of Iran.

Ukrainian Police General Volodymyr Tymoshko says that the investigation into the occupation of Kramatorsk and Sloviansk in April 2014 revealed that the preparation for the takeover of Donbas by Russian forces began much earlier, possibly after the invasion of Georgia in 2008, and that paramilitary groups supported by Moscow crossed the border dressed as civilians to occupy key buildings such as Villa Maria, a dependency of the Orthodox Church linked to the Moscow Patriarchate.
