UK ally prepares for main terror strike on London as World War 3 fears skyrocket
France’s embassy in Knightsbridge, London, could be a target as officials in the country are seemingly working on plans to deal with a terror attack on their citizens in the UK
Officials in France are working on plans involving an attack on the UK
A major UK ally is preparing for a possible terror attack on the UK. According to reports from The Standard, France has been carrying out a “crisis management” exercise to help prepare itself for a huge incident on a major city in response to the current war Iran.
And according to sources close to the situation, French crisis response teams are using a blueprint featuring an attack on French nationals in London.
It is though that France’s embassy in Knightsbridge, London, would be a target, with the French government’s Centre de Crise et Soutien (Crisis and Support Centre) offering support and assistance to staff there.
Plans show how agents from the CDCS would be sent to the UK to deal with the attack, and that an actual training exercise was carried out involving a “crisis room” inside the embassy recently.
Much like if UK citizens were attack in other countries, the officials would arrange flights out of the UK and sort passports if needed, while working with the UK Government.
It comes just hours after Russia issued a direct warning to attack targets within the UK. Vladimir Putin’s defence ministry released locations of what it claims are manufacturing sites supplying the Ukrainian military with equipment used to strike Russian territory.
Three of the locations are in London, Leicester and Suffolk. Additional sites are across several European nations. The action was “increasingly drawing these countries into war with Russia”, the ministry declared.
Senior Kremlin figure and former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev warned Western leaders that the warning should be “taken literally.” Medvedev serves as Putin’s deputy on the Russian Security Council.
“The list of European facilities which make drones [and] other equipment is a list of potential targets for the Russian armed forces,” he cautioned. “When strikes become a reality depends on what comes next… Sleep well, European partners!”
The catalogue identifies what appears to be Ukrainian missile manufacturer Fire Point with an alleged location in Mildenhall, Suffolk, which also houses an RAF base. It functions as a crucial US air force centre. Alleged locations in London and Leicester were also provided.
“The leadership of several European countries, amid mounting losses and a worsening shortage of manpower in the Ukrainian Armed Forces, decided to increase the production and supply of UAVs to Ukraine for strikes on Russian territory,” the Russian defence ministry stated.
“A significant increase in UAV production for the Kyiv regime is planned through increased funding for Ukrainian and joint enterprises located in European countries that produce attack drones and their components.”
