Irish police say a man in his 40s was arrested after entering an unauthorised area of Ireland's Shannon Airport and allegedly causing damage to a US military aircraft.
Video on social media shows a man climbing onto the wing
of a US Air Force C-130 Hercules transport aircraft parked on a remote taxiway and attacking it with a hammer.
There have been several security breaches in recent years at the airport, which has long been the site of protests over its use as a transit point by the US military.
Police say investigations are ongoing.

Slow-moving convoys of tractors and trucks have blocked roads and motorways for days, including some of the busiest streets in Dublin.
Last night, the Irish government called in the army to remove vehicles blocking roads, with Irish police treating protests at fuel depots as blockades.
Protesters say they want more help with fuel costs from the government and said they're prepared to continue their protest for weeks.
Ireland's Taoiseach, or Prime Minister, says the blockades are damaging Ireland's economy and that the protesters did not have the right to close down the country.

She was keen to stress that over 40 countries took part, including representatives from European countries, Canada, the United Arab Emirates, but of course, not the US or Israel, the countries that launched the war.
Cooper said the rest of the world had been left to deal with the consequences, though, which is why she was organising this meeting.
She said that by blocking the Strait of Hormuz, Iran was hijacking a global shipping route.
