The armed forces minister said no UK personnel had been put at risk as a result of US officials using a messaging app to discuss war plans.
Despite a US security breach where plans for an airstrike on Yemen were shared in a Signal group chat that accidentally included a journalist, the UK maintains "high confidence" in its operational security measures with the US. UK armed forces minister Luke Pollard stated no British personnel were put at risk. The US National Security Council is investigating the breach. Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey called for a review of UK intelligence-sharing with the US, but Downing Street expressed continued confidence in the handling of UK intelligence by the US.
