The British Army reacted to an alleged drone attack on the Royal Air Force base in Akrotiri, Cyprus, which took place on the night from Sunday to Monday. The British Ministry of Defence stated that the armed forces are on maximum alert following the incident, but no casualties have been reported. The Akrotiri base is the largest British military base in the region and has recently been reinforced with air defense and anti-drone systems, as well as F-35 fighter jets. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced that the United Kingdom will allow the United States to use British military bases to attack Iranian missile sites, emphasizing that London will not participate in offensive actions in Iran but will respond to Iranian threats that endanger British citizens and allies in the region.
