According to reports, RAF Lakenheath was initially placed under lockdown, and it was later reported that the same measure was implemented at RAF Mildenhall and RAF Feltwell. Reports mention sirens sounding at the latter two bases.

According to Sky News correspondent Debora Haynes, a U.S. Air Force (USAF) spokesperson stated: “Tonight, U.S. Air Force Security Forces personnel responded to reports of suspicious and unauthorized unmanned aircraft activity over thebase.
