The US Air Force has confirmed unauthorized drone activity was detected at a UK airbase, where it previously stationed aircraft. The incident occurred at a Royal Air Force station in England, according to officials. The drones were identified as flying in the area without prior authorization.
The US military is currently reviewing the incident to determine the origin and intent of the drones. No immediate threat was reported, but the presence of unauthorized aerial activity has raised security concerns. The UK's Ministry of Defence has been informed and is cooperating with the US investigation.
This is the second known instance of drone activity near UK military installations this year. In March, similar unauthorized flights were reported near a RAF base in Scotland. Both incidents involved drones flying in restricted airspace, prompting heightened surveillance and coordination between the two nations. The UK has been increasing its drone monitoring capabilities in response to growing concerns about unmanned aerial systems.
