Senior US army officer accused of spying for Russia arrested at Nato base in UK | BBC News

A senior US soldier entrusted with sensitive information has been arrested in Britain on suspicion of spying for Russia, BBC News reports. Counter-terrorism police describe the arrest as significant and say their investigation is continuing.

In the brief News at Ten report, Fiona Bruce turns to home affairs correspondent Daniel Sandford, who explains the two allegations: disclosing protected information and assisting a foreign intelligence service. The unnamed soldier is being held at a London police station under national security laws.

Footage shows Imjin Barracks in Gloucestershire, where the BBC understands the soldier was based. It houses NATO's Allied Rapid Reaction Corps headquarters, giving the investigation a setting central to the alliance's military operations. Sandford also reports that FBI director Kash Patel thanked MI5 and UK Defence Counterintelligence for their cooperation.

The BBC News Short has drawn about 147,000 views in its first 11 hours. Police stress that the allegations are serious and the investigation remains ongoing.
