UK counter-terrorism police have launched an investigation into arson at a former synagogue in London. The Prime Minister issued a warning regarding the incident.

According to BBC reports, police have classified the fire as a terrorism-related incident and are investigating its cause and motive. Although the synagogue was no longer in active use for religious services, the incident has caused significant alarm within the UK’s Jewish community.

The Prime Minister condemned the attack in a public statement, saying the government would take all necessary measures to protect religious sites and minority communities. The Home Office said it would strengthen security measures at religious sites nationwide.
