Five people have been arrested on "terrorism" charges in the United Kingdom near a military base that has been used to strike Iran, according to Al Jazeera.
Police evacuated approximately 85 households in the area and cordoned it off while bomb disposal experts examined three vehicles, the report said.
Al Jazeera's report did not provide further detail on the identities of those arrested, the specific nature of the alleged plot, or the outcome of the examination of the vehicles.
The base's use in connection with strikes on Iran has drawn scrutiny to security around it, and the arrests come amid heightened concern over threats to military installations in the UK linked to allied operations abroad.
