The US Air Force says security forces responded to suspected unauthorised drone activity over RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk on Friday evening. A spokesperson said no personnel, aircraft or infrastructure were affected, and the Ministry of Defence has been asked for comment. The scare comes days after Lakenheath and nearby RAF Mildenhall raised security to their second-highest level over a reported Iranian threat to American bases.
