Story summary

The US Air Force removed all its bombers, including B-1s, B-2s, and B-52s, from RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, UK after a security incident last month that involved five British nationals being arrested on suspicion of explosives and terror offenses. The Pentagon confirmed the move, stating operational security concerns precluded real-time confirmation of asset movements but acknowledged all bombers had returned to their home stations in the US. Local media reported villagers near RAF Fairford were evacuated amid heightened tensions linked to potential threats against the base used for operations targeting Iran.
