Large area off Welsh coast to be closed off for major military exercise with live weapons

A large area off the Welsh coast is restricted to sea traffic next week due to military tests with live weapons. The tests will be carried out from the Ministry of Defence's Aberporth Range which is situated in Cardigan Bay north of the Milford Haven waterway beyond Strumble Head. The range covers about 550 acres and is the base for the testing of air launched weapons and unmanned aerial systems .

The range has a "sea danger area" which covers 6,500 square kilometres of Cardigan Bay from sea level to unlimited height. The extent of the sea danger area is shown on the map below.
