US military responds to ‘suspected unauthorised drone activity’ at UK airbase
Security protocols have been activated at an American military base in the UK following the detection of unauthorised drone activity, US officials confirmed on Friday.
Guards at RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk deployed a security response to the incursions. A spokesperson for US European Command stated that officials are taking "all measures" to protect the base installations, service members, and aircraft on site.
The spokesperson, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive military matters, clarified that the activity caused no harm to personnel, aircraft, or infrastructure.
The heightened alert comes just days after the US relocated more than a dozen aircraft from a separate military base in eastern England due to an undisclosed threat.
