Govt ‘monitoring situation’ after Akrotiri drone strike

The government is “monitoring the situation” after the British Akrotiri air force base was struck by a drone at around midnight, government spokesman Konstantinos Letymbiotis said on Monday.

He wrote in a post on social media that “the competent authorities immediately activated the required security protocols” in the aftermath of the strike, and that the government is both monitoring the situation and “in constant coordination” with both the British bases’ authorities and the UK’s government in London.
