A Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) has been issued and covers airspace across Thetford, Diss, Norwich and Great Yarmouth.

Eight military aircraft are scheduled to take part in the exercise, which will run from Monday, March 16, to Friday, March 20.

They will be conducting the exercises from the surface level to 2,000 feet.

The notice is classified as operationally significant for air traffic, so pilots are required to take it into account when planning and flying through the area.

The region has seen increased military activity since the start of the Iran War, with jets stopping off at RAF Lakenheath and RAF Mildenhall in Suffolk.

F-35 jets based at RAF Marham have been used to shoot down Iranian drones over Jordan.

On Monday, President Donald Trump said: "If Iran does anything that stops the flow of oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the United States of America 20 times harder than they have been hit thus far."

In an apparent response to his remarks, a spokesman for the paramilitary Revolutionary Guard, Ali Mohammad Naini, said: "Iran will determine when the war ends."
