A British RAF base in Cyprus was targeted by a “suspected drone strike” on Sunday night, the Ministry of Defence has said, the BBC reports.
The MoD said the armed forces were responding to the attack at RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus at around midnight local time (22:00 GMT). The BBC understands there were no casualties in the suspected strike.
“Our force protection in the region is at the highest level and the base has responded to defend our people,” the MoD said.
It comes after Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said the UK had agreed to a US request to use British military bases for “defensive” strikes on Iranian missile sites.
