The blaze erupted in the early hours of Sunday inside an "old or disused building" at the RAF Fairford airbase, a UK Ministry of Defense spokesman was cited as saying by GB News. No one was injured in the fire, which was contained, nor did the blaze pose any threat to the base or the local community, the authorities said.The UK government noted in March that it had allowed the United States to use the base for attacks on Iran, but only for "defensive" operations. Demonstrators rallied outside the base to protest against US attacks against Iran.
