US Air Force responds to suspected drone activity at RAF Lakenheath

The U.S. Air Force said security personnel responded to suspected unauthorized drone activity over RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk, prompting a shelter-in-place alert and reports of alarms nearby. The Air Force said no personnel, aircraft or infrastructure were affected, and local MP Nick Timothy said authorities told him the incident was resolved and posed no threat to the public. The response came amid heightened security concerns after U.S. aircraft were moved from nearby RAF Mildenhall following reports of an Iran-linked threat.
