LONDON — The British military has increased security around four air bases in the country that are used by U.S. forces after "a number" of drones were spotted near them, the U.S. Air Force said Wednesday. The drones fluctuated in “size and configuration,” the Air Force said. U.S. and British officials declined to say how many drones had been spotted, or who might be behind them. The RAF Lakenheath, RAF Mildenhall and RAF Feltwell bases are in southeast England, about two hours north of London. The fourth base, RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, is around 150 miles southwest of the other facilities.

By Dmitry Antonov and Guy FaulconbridgeMOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia will not deploy nuclear weapons abroad except in its ally Belarus but will find ways to counter any deployment of U.S. tactical nuclear weapons in Britain, the deputy minister in charge of arms control said on Thursday. President Vladimir Putin said last year that Moscow had transferred some tactical nuclear weapons to Belarus, blaming what he casts as a hostile and aggressive West for the decision. Asked by reporters if Russia would deploy nuclear weapons beyond Belarus, for example in South America, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said: "No, it is not planned." Separately, Ryabkov told Russia Today in an interview that U.S. plans to deploy tactical nuclear weapons to Britain would not deter Moscow. Neither Britain nor the United States have confirmed reports of the planned deployment of tactical nuclear weapons.
