Sirens sounded on Friday evening at RAF Mildenhall and RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk, and RAF Feltwell in Norfolk, after reports of suspected drone activity. The US Air Force confirmed that security personnel responded to suspected unauthorised drones over Lakenheath; it said the incident affected no people, aircraft or infrastructure.
