The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what country was the launch location of the drone that struck the runway during the attack on RAF Akrotiri on 2 March 2026.

Answered by Al Carns

The Ministry of Defence can confirm that a drone targeted RAF Akrotiri on 2 March was not launched from Iran. Our best assessment is that it came from Lebanon or Iraq.
