NATO has lowered the security level for its base in the German town of Geilenkirchen, it said on Friday, after the state of alert had been raised overnight "based on intelligence information indicating a potential threat".
"The security level at NATO air base Geilenkirchen has returned to Bravo+," NATO said in a post on the social media platform X. "The temporary rise to Charlie was a precautionary measure to minimise potential risk to our organisation and personnel. All scheduled operations are proceeding as planned."
