Americas2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported47m ago
The United States has withdrawn all of its bombers from the RAF Fairford military base in western England. At least 10 B-1 bombers, which had been utilized by the US military in the Iran conflict, departed from the base on Sunday.
The relocation follows an incident near the base from the previous week involving five men, which British counter-terrorism police are currently investigating as an alleged planned terrorist attack. While the Guardian reported that the withdrawal suggests US officials are taking the threat seriously, MercoPress noted that Washington did not provide an official reason for the decision.
