Drone incidents at UK military sites rise to 340 in 12 months, The Independent says

British military installations have been subjected to 340 drone incidents in the last twelve months, according to The Independent.

That's an increase from 250 incidents in 2025 and 126 the year before, the newspaper writes. The Ministry of Defence has not said who is behind the drone activity against the UK, while experts warn of threats from Russia and Iran.

The figures come as Russia has warned Britain about its arms deliveries to Ukraine. Moscow has said that even British military facilities in Ukraine used for attacks on Russian territory will be considered “legitimate targets.”

On Friday, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said that Moscow is planning hybrid attacks against NATO countries that support Ukraine.
