Further drone activity has been reported near to a Suffolk airbase, with the British military now helping with the investigation.

The United States Air Force has confirmed inquiries into drone activity near RAF Lakenheath remain "ongoing" after it was first reported on Wednesday, November 20.

Over the weekend, it was reported that "small unmanned aerial systems" were spotted over RAF Lakenheath and RAF Mildenhall in Suffolk, as well as RAF Feltwell in Norfolk.

More activity was spotted on Monday evening.

According to the PA News Agency, British troops have been drafted in to help the investigation.

The US Military said it was unclear at this stage whether the drones were considered hostile. 

On Tuesday, a US Air Forces spokesperson said: "I can confirm the situation is still ongoing and our units continue to monitor the airspace and are working with host-nation authorities and mission partners to ensure the safety of base personnel, facilities, and assets.

“Since November 20, there has been no impact to residents or infrastructure and they have not been identified as hostile.

“However, they are still continuously being monitored to ensure the safety and security of the installations.”

A spokesperson for the British Ministry of Defence said: “We take threats seriously and maintain robust measures at defence sites. This includes counter drone security capabilities.

"“We are supporting the US Air Force response.”
