"A 400m cordon has been put in place around the vehicles, while the Army's Explosive Ordnance Disposal Unit examine them,” Ocone said. A statement from police earlier Sunday said that they believe the situation is “contained.”
The base is home to both 501st Combat Support Wing Headquarters and the 420th Air Base Squadron, and is seen as the “preferred bomber forward operating location in Europe,” according to the U.S. Air Force.
A representative of the Air Force told Sky News that none of its personnel are involved in the incident, but that the branch remains “in close coordination with our UK partners to help ensure the safety and security of both our military and local communities."
