Two weeks of military exercises on the Rock

Visiting British troops will be conducting training exercises in Gibraltar over the next two weeks, HQ British Forces said on Monday.

The troops will be exercising in a number of areas, both on the MOD estate and in the wider Gibraltar community, and will be using drones to record exercise imagery.

In addition to daytime activity, a number of exercises will take place during the hours of darkness.

“Exercising troops will be in full uniform with weapons,” HQ British Forces said in a statement, urging the public not be alarmed.

“Blank firing will take place on and off the MOD estate.”

The exercises will run from November 2 to November 13.
