US military personnel were ordered to shelter at RAF Lakenheath in the United Kingdom on November 13 after suspected unauthorised drone activity, with no injuries or damage reported. Ukrainska Pravda reported that sirens sounded and a security alert was issued at the major US air base on the evening of November 13, and that the UK Ministry of Defence confirmed personnel had responded to reports of drone activity. An alert told personnel to find the nearest building and remain there. A US Air Force spokesperson said Security Forces personnel responded to suspected unauthorised drone activity and that "No personnel, aircraft or infrastructure were affected." No cause has been confirmed. Ukrainska Pravda also reported that the alert came several days after the US withdrew aircraft from another British base over a threat from Iran, and that the UK government had arrested several people in connection with a suspected Iranian plot targeting the air base. The outlet reported that the US had also withdrawn long-range bombers from another UK base in October.
