American helpers went from Iraq to a base in Cyprus. This was a British base. They asked their British friends for help.
There were not enough American planes. So, the US helpers needed a ride. They got on a British plane. This plane was going to Cyprus. It brought food and other things.
The flight was not on Thursday night. There was a drone attack in Cyprus. This happened after midnight on March 2nd. The attack was not with the US helpers. The area is not safe.
The British Ministry of Defence said the US had no planes. So they used the RAF plane. Some US helpers were not happy.
A US speaker said no one was left behind. The US always helps its people. They want everyone safe.
This shows there are security problems. Using other planes means the US might have few. It makes us think about safety. The area is still not calm. Countries must check their plans.
