An F-16 fighter jet made an emergency landing in Zakynthos after experiencing a mechanical failure that caused a fire.

The deployment of Turkish F-16 fighter jets to the occupied northern part of Cyprus has sparked fresh reactions in the US Congress, with two more members of the House of Representatives publicly condemning Turkey’s move.

Ankara went from leaks to official confirmation and announced that as of today, six F-16 fighters have been deployed to the Occupied Territories along with air defense systems, citing developments in the region and the need, as it says, to strengthen the security of the pseudo-state.
