The United States has withdrawn its fleet of bombers, estimated at approximately one dozen B-1 aircraft, from the RAF Fairford military base in the United Kingdom. The relocation of these assets back to their home stations was confirmed by a Pentagon official on Sunday.
Downing Street has stated that the base remains safe despite the withdrawal. The departure of the aircraft follows a recent incident near the facility that is currently under investigation by counter-terrorism police, with some reports suggesting the move was prompted by a new security threat.
