## Summary

US Air Force security personnel responded to suspected unauthorised drone activity at RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk on 13 November. No injuries or damage were reported, and the incident was resolved; authorities are investigating because the drones’ origin remains unknown.

The US Air Force in Europe said no personnel, aircraft or infrastructure were affected, and British and American officials are working together to establish what happened. Lakenheath hosts the 48th Fighter Wing’s F-35A and F-15E aircraft and has had a US Air Force presence since 1948. The incident follows increased security at Lakenheath and nearby RAF Mildenhall, and similar drone reports at three UK bases in November 2024.
