Drone strike targets RAF base in Cyprus, Ministry of Defence reports

The RAF base Akrotiri in Cyprus was struck by a one-way drone attack, but there were no casualties reported. In response, the UK Ministry of Defence is relocating families and non-essential staff as a precautionary measure. This incident marks the first attack on the base since 1986, and authorities in Cyprus are on high alert. The UK government has not confirmed the drone’s origin amid ongoing conflict in the Middle East, where tensions are escalating following recent events involving Iran.
