ALT It is with deep regret that we can confirm that a training accident occurred in northern Iraq on Sunday 31 May 2026 in which a service person from the British Army died. The service person’s family have been informed and have requested a period of grace before further details are released. Our thoughts and sympathies are with the family and friends at this sad time.

As a precautionary measure we are moving families who live at RAF Akrotiri to alternative temporary accommodation in Cyprus. I’ve spoken to the Commander of British Forces Cyprus this morning.
My first priority is always the protection of our people - military and civilian.

I can confirm there were no casualties and the damage is minimal.
Our jets and equipment at RAF Akrotiri are ready to defend British people, our bases, and our allies in the region and I am proud of the professionalism of our Armed Forces' and their families.

The strike on RAF Akrotiri last night is deeply concerning, an example of the dangerous and indiscriminate attacks by Iran & its proxies across the region.
Our best assessment is that the drone was fired before the Prime Minister's statement last night on the US use of UK bases.

Strength is in unity.
NATO’s multinational forces in 🇱🇻 Latvia deter and defend against any threat.
Latvia is also protected by Eastern Sentry, NATO’s military activity that strengthens our defences in the eastern part of the Alliance

Urban operations place soldiers amongst the civilian population.
On #SaberJunction, 13 Air Assault Support Regiment RLC used restraint, empathy and clear actions to manage a hostile and hungry crowd of refugees blocking their way to delivering supplies to troops on the ground.
