What happened
Escalating tensions with Russia have seen an increase in illegal drone incursions over nuclear power stations and UK military bases in Europe. The Ministry of Defence stated that 100 sightings of unmanned craft occurred over nuclear facilities or nuclear objects, such as submarines, between January and August of this year. These incidents are taking place at sites including the Faslane nuclear base in Scotland.

Why it matters
Security experts suggest the rise in drone activity is linked to Russia, who is accused of gaining intelligence useful to an enemy planning an attack on the UK. The incursions are viewed by some as a harbinger of a general war in Europe against Nato.
Europe is currently facing potential Russian hybrid attacks, and intelligence regarding NATO threats is being discussed.
