British counter-terrorism police have taken charge of the investigation into a "major incident" that occurred on Sunday near a military base used by the US Air Force in western England, according to media reports cited by France 24.
The incident follows the arrest of several men suspected of explosives-related offences. Authorities have not specified the exact number of vehicles examined or the details of the suspicions against those arrested.
The base in question is used by American forces, prompting several media outlets to question a possible link to regional tensions involving Iran, though this has not been confirmed by the authorities.
The counter-terrorism investigation is continuing, and no further information has been released about the identity of the suspects.
