Cyprus On High Alert After Drone Incidents And Evacuation

Two unmanned aircraft were intercepted near the UK’s sovereign base areas in Cyprus, prompting an evacuation at Paphos Airport and a military response from Greece. The drones were reportedly aimed at the British bases in Akrotiri and Dhekelia, and were destroyed before reaching them. The incident came hours after a drone hit RAF Akrotiri overnight, causing limited damage and no casualties. Greece has announced plans to send two frigates and two F-16 fighter jets to Cyprus in response to the incidents. The situation was first reported by AeroTime.
