All calm at British bases, civil defence alerts precautionary

Everything was running smoothly at the British bases in Dhekelia on Wednesday, with no incidents to cause public concern.

On Tuesday, residents of Xylotymbou, Xylofagou and Ormidia received warning messages on their mobile phones from the Civil Defence, raising concerns in the communities around the British bases.

Andreas Efthymiou-Soulis, deputy director of civil defence for Larnaca and Famagusta, stated that the messages served as “guiding and precautionary” measures for emergencies.
