Air raid siren rings over RAF Lakenheath as US military responds to incident after personnel forced to take shelter

Sirens sounded at RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk after US Air Force security personnel responded to suspected unauthorised drone activity over the base. The incident was resolved, and officials said no personnel, aircraft or infrastructure were affected; the local MP said there was no threat to the public.

The US Air Force said it was working with UK counterparts and urged people to report unusual or suspicious activity to local authorities. The alert came days after more than a dozen US aircraft were moved from nearby RAF Mildenhall amid concerns about a possible Iran-linked security threat, though the article gives no evidence connecting that concern to the Lakenheath incident.
