Security forces at Royal Air Force Lakenheath in eastern England responded this evening (Friday) to unauthorized drone activity over the base. A US European Command spokesperson told the Associated Press that the US military is taking 'all measures' to protect personnel, aircraft, and base facilities. The spokesperson added that no one was injured and no damage was caused to aircraft or infrastructure. Earlier this evening, unverified reports emerged of threats to other US bases in Britain. Meanwhile, the UK Department for Transport issued three emergency orders on Monday restricting drone flights around Lakenheath, Mildenhall, and Feltwell bases following a 'state of emergency that arose in the area.' On the same day, the US evacuated American aircraft from Mildenhall base due to a threat from Iran and raised the security alert level at Mildenhall and Lakenheath bases to 'Charlie.'
