00:00Breaking news! The United Kingdom has just arrested five men near a U.S. used military air base in England,
00:05where American long-range bombers have been stationed and used in operations against Iran.
00:10On Sunday, around 12.45 p.m., police received an emergency call about three suspicious vans that appeared to be
00:16traveling toward RAF Fairford.
00:18All were white, and as per reports, unknown explosive materials were likely to be inside.
00:23So, locals informed police quickly.
00:25Authorities acted in minutes and reached the site before them,
00:28where they stopped and arrested five men inside the vans, just nearly 400 meters away from the base.
00:33And this location makes the incident especially significant,
00:36because the RAF Fairford Air Base is extremely important and is used by U.S. military bombers in operations against
00:42Iran for a long time.
00:44Around 85 nearby households were evacuated as a precaution,
00:48while the British Army's explosive ordnance team is still examining the vans.
00:51The five men were arrested under the Explosives Act initially,
00:54before counterterrorism police arrested them again on suspicion of preparing a terrorist act.
00:59But importantly, the investigators are trying to establish exactly what these men were doing,
01:03and what was inside those vehicles.
