Communities around Akrotiri report public unrest

Communities around the Akrotiri British air base reported a quiet night, following Monday’s Iranian-backed drone strike launched from Lebanon, however they did report people panicking and hundreds contacting the local authorities for information.

“The situation is generally calm and the alarm levels have dropped because last night was quiet,” Curium mayor Pantelis Georgiou said on Tuesday. This was echoed by Akrotiri deputy mayor Giorgos Constantinou, who said “the situation is calm”.
