The U.S. Air Force said that drones have been spotted over its bases in the UK in the past few days.
This was reported by Reuters, Ukrinform saw.
A U.S. Air Force spokesman confirmed on Tuesday that several unidentified UAVs have been spotted over three bases in Britain in the past six days.
“Small unmanned aerial systems were spotted in the vicinity of and over RAF Lakenheath, RAF Mildenhall, and RAF Feltwell from Nov 20 to Nov 26,” the report said.
These three bases, two in Suffolk and one in Norfolk, are leased by the US Air Force in the UK.
A spokesman for the UK Ministry of Defense said they take threats seriously and maintain robust measures at defense sites.
“We are supporting the U.S. Air Force response,” the spokesman added.
As Ukrinform reported earlier, unidentified drones were spotted over three UK air bases leased by the U.S. Air Force. The USAF said it was currently unclear whether the spotted drones should be considered hostile.
