Several men were arrested on Sunday in the United Kingdom on suspicion of offenses under explosives legislation, near a military base used by the US Air Force, British authorities said.
The incident was described as a "major incident" by the relevant services, though no further details were publicly released about the exact nature of the suspicions or the total number of people detained.
The UK hosts several bases used by US forces under long-standing military cooperation agreements, making them sensitive sites from a security standpoint.
British authorities did not specify whether the ongoing investigation had established a link to a broader threat targeting the country's military installations.
