High-ranking American military officer arrested in the UK on suspicion of spying for Russia

A senior U.S. military officer was arrested in the UK on suspicion of espionage for Russia. The arrest occurred near Gloucester, close to a Royal Air Force base used by the U.S. for bombers. The police are investigating two locations in the area, but details about any information allegedly passed to Moscow remain undisclosed. The U.S. Army Counterintelligence Command confirmed the officer had access to sensitive information. British police's anti-terror unit is collaborating with the FBI on the investigation. This incident follows recent evacuations of aircraft from the UK due to threats from Iran, unrelated to the espionage case.
