Details of what exactly happened last night at US bases across the UK remain extremely scarce almost 24 hours after the first reports were published, at which point neither the US European Command (EUCOM) nor the Pentagon have provided official information.
All we know at the moment is that there has been a security incident at Lakenheath Air Force Base. Some sources report a bomb threat, others report a drone intrusion. As a result, air raid sirens sounded, a partial lockdown was introduced and security measures were increased at bases across the country, including Mildenhall and Flatwell bases.
