British police declared a major incident on Sunday near an air base in southwest England, leading to the arrest of several men on suspicion of explosives offenses.
Authorities evacuated homes and multiple buildings in the town of Whelford near RAF Fairford. Army bomb disposal experts were deployed to the scene to examine a number of vehicles.
RAF Fairford is used by the United States Air Force to facilitate strikes on Iranian missile sites. The British government provided authorization for the U.S. to use the base for these operations.
