The situation in Cyprus due to developments in the Middle East has increased concern in recent days, with Stefanos Michael pointing out that, as a reserve commando, he has his personal equipment, gun and bullets at home, declaring himself ready to respond to any call.

Adonis Georgiadis made a detailed statement on the foreign policy of the Kyriakos Mitsotakis government on Wednesday morning, emphasizing, among other things, that “all those who criticized the foreign policy of the Mitsotakis government have now been seriously exposed.”

An alert was sounded in Cyprus as a possible suspicious object was detected in the airspace near Lebanon, as reported by the Government Spokesperson. “For precautionary reasons, all appropriate measures were taken by the competent authorities to investigate and, if necessary, deal with the incident. Further information will follow on the outcome,” he adds.

According to philenews, Greek F-16s took off to intercept the suspicious object. At the American embassy in Nicosia, the staff was taken to the basement as a precaution.

The alert was sounded shortly after 9:30 in the morning and ended half an hour later.
