US air force says the drones do not appear ‘hostile’ and there has been no impact.
Drones have been spotted near three military bases in Britain but they have not been identified as hostile, the US air force (USAF) says.
In a statement on Tuesday, the air force said the sightings occurred on Monday and overnight.
“[We] can only confirm that the number [of drones] fluctuated and varied between the bases over the night,” a USAF in Europe spokesperson said in a statement.
The statement added that there had been no impact on the military bases’ residents or infrastructure, adding that the drones “have not been identified as hostile”.
“However they are still continuously being monitored to ensure the safety and security of the installation,” it added.
