NICOSIA: A drone strike targeted Britain’s Royal Air Force (RAF) base at Akrotiri in Cyprus shortly after midnight, causing limited damage and no casualties, officials said Monday.

President Nikos Christodoulides confirmed a Shahed-type unmanned aircraft crashed into the facility at 12:03 a.m., prompting a full operational alert.

Authorities said a second drone was intercepted. It was unclear where the Iranian-made drone was launched from.

Cyprus said it is not involved in any military operation. The base, retained by Britain since 1960, has supported missions in Iraq, Syria, and Yemen.
