US heavy bombers are still in Britain, poised to once again attack Iran. Join @cnduk.bsky.social, @stwc.bsky.social and Fairford Action at RAF Fairford next Saturday (April 25) to demand that Keir Starmer shuts down the bases and sends the bombers home!

A third Israeli drone operating for #Frontex crashed in the Mediterranean, but details remain secret. Maltese military claims to have recovered wreckage. The EU border agency's headquarter is "not in a position to reveal further operational details”: digit.site36.net/2026/04/14/t...
