Pro-Palestinian Activists Breach RAF Brize Norton, Damage Military Aircraft

Pro-Palestinian activists from the group Palestine Action broke into RAF Brize Norton, Britain's largest air base, and vandalized two Airbus Voyager military aircraft by spraying red paint into their engines. The activists used electric scooters to navigate the airfield and claimed their actions were aimed at disrupting alleged UK involvement in operations supporting Israel, which the Ministry of Defence strongly denies. The breach has raised serious security concerns given the size of the base and the number of personnel stationed there, with officials condemning the incident as dangerous vandalism. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and other government figures called the act disgraceful and emphasized support for the armed forces, while the MoD is working with police to investigate. The incident comes amid heightened tensions related to the conflict in the Middle East and follows previous Palestine Action protests targeting military suppliers. RAF sources clarified that the Voyager planes are vital for UK's military air power but have not been used to support Israeli forces, contradicting the activists' claims.
