Palestine Action members break into Brize Norton airbase in Oxfordshire and spray military planes with red paint
A pro-Palestine protest group said two of its members had broken into the RAF’s Brize Norton airbase, damaged two military aircraft with spray paint before escaping the site without being detained.
Palestine Action released a short video on Friday morning showing two people driving electric scooters unimpeded inside the airbase at night, in what appears to be a significant and embarrassing breach of Ministry of Defence (MoD) security.
The group said it had targeted RAF Voyager aircraft used for transport and refuelling, and that “activists have interrupted Britain’s direct participation in the commission of genocide and war crimes across the Middle East”.
The MoD condemned the protest and described it as “vandalism of Royal Air Force assets”. It is working closely with police investigating the incident, a spokesperson added.
