British counter-terrorism police investigated an incident at RAF Fairford involving three vans suspected of containing explosives near the base where U.S. B-2 bombers are stationed. BBC security correspondent Frank Gardner suggests the event fits a pattern of Russian or Iranian hybrid warfare across Europe. Officials suspect the use of proxies rather than direct state actors in recent arson and drone incidents.
