A U.S. Air Force spokesman confirmed on Tuesday that several unidentified UAVs have been spotted over three bases in Britain in the past six days.

These three bases, two in Suffolk and one in Norfolk, are leased by the US Air Force in the UK.

A spokesman for the UK Ministry of Defense said they take threats seriously and maintain robust measures at defense sites.

“We are supporting the U.S. Air Force response,” the spokesman added.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, unidentified drones were spotted over three UK air bases leased by the U.S. Air Force. The USAF said it was currently unclear whether the spotted drones should be considered hostile.
