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.

Four years ago today, Putin chose to launch his full-scale illegal invasion of Ukraine. 🧵 Here are 7 clear facts you need to know about the war. The threat, the cost, and what the UK is doing to support Ukraine.

Four years after Russia’s full-scale invasion, Ukraine continues to fight for its freedom with courage. NATO and Allied support helps Ukraine defend itself today and be in a strong position to secure peace #StandWithUkraine 🇺🇦

Looks cold ❄️🥶 C Coy, 3 Rifles. 50 troops from C-Company, 3rd Battalion, The Rifles (3 RIFLES) took part in Ex NORTHERN AXE (NOREX) in northern Finland, 30 miles from the Russian border 🇫🇮

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.

On this day in 1991, Ukraine chose its own future. Today, in 2025, that choice is defended by the bravery of its people. The UK supports Ukraine’s sovereignty, freedom, and right to peace. #UkraineIndependenceDay #StandWithUkraine #SlavaUkraine
