UK Cyprus base hit by drone​

The United Kingdom’s Akrotiri air force base in Cyprus has been hit by a drone, the Cyprus Mail learned in the early hours of Monday morning.

Personnel on the bases were informed that a “small drone” had “impacted the airfield” and that the bases’ authorities were responding.

It was also confirmed that there were no casualties as a result of the strike, but that “minor damage” had been caused.

The bases’ authorities also instructed personnel to “remain in place and await further instruction”, warning that “there may be additional impact”, with the explosion and siren sounds having been heard in nearby Limassol.

Unconfirmed reports suggested that the drone which struck Cyprus may have been a Shahed 136 – a one-way attack drone which has been previously used both in Iranian strikes on Israel and by the Russian military during its war with Ukraine.

Earlier, the British bases had declared a “security threat” shortly before midnight.

Sources informed the Cyprus Mail that personnel at the base were told of the threat, and instructed to “return to your homes and stay inside until further notice”.

They were also told to “move away from windows and take cover behind or beneath substantial, solid furniture”, and to await further instruction.

The strike comes after politicians in the United Kingdom and Cyprus had offered contradicting accounts regarding the question of whether or not Iranian missiles had been fired in the direction of Cyprus on Saturday night.

British Defence Secretary John Healey had on Sunday morning told television channel Sky News that “we had two missiles fired in the direction of Cyprus”.

“We don’t believe they were targeted at Cyprus, but nevertheless, it’s an example of how there is a very real and rising threat from a regime that is lashing out widely across the region, and that requires us to act,” he said.

However, later in the day, President Nikos Christodoulides, Turkish Cypriot leader Tufan Erhurman, Defence Minister Vasilis Palmas, and government spokesman Konstantinos Letymbiotis had all said this had not been the case.

Letymbiotis was the first to respond to Healey’s comments, saying that. “this is not the case and there is no indication whatsoever that the country was under threat”, while Palmas wrote on social media that he “categorically denies” that which Healey had asserted.

Christodoulides later said that he had held a telephone conversation with British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, in which Starmer had “confirmed clearly and unequivocally that Cyprus was not a target”.

Meanwhile, Erhurman said that he had been informed that reports of missiles heading in the direction of Cyprus were false, and warned that “making statements without fully confirming any news at a time like this is extremely risky”.

So it's plausible the IRGC-ASF is trying to strike the Ford CVN, or one of her auxiliaries or AEGIS destroyer escorts.

we all dislike israel here but can we not engage in holocaust denialism

Excuse you, but objectively highlighting Zionist exaggeration, distortion and exploitation of "Holocaust" narratives isn't "Holocaust denialism."

Mindlessly accepting Zionist guilt trips premised upon dishonest — if not sensationalized — "Holocaust" narratives is how and why the US and other Western powers end up fighting avoidable, if not unjust and unnecessary wars on behalf of Israel and its vile sponsors . . . as in the very subject matter of this thread.

I think iran is on its last leg. Their entire navy of mostly coastal ships has been sunk. Dozens of bunker busters bomb had been used to destroy underground missile production facilities already

according to grok iran has lost all their 14 emals carriers and 5 nuclear submarines
they only have 6 shahed-53 6th gen fighters jets left

This didn’t happen last time, which means Iranians are getting intel from Chinese and Russian sources who would be the only ones capable of hacking these apps.

fake news.
the source you are using is a random twitter account called "Brian's breaking news".

That's the effect of killing someone's spiritual leader. Correct me if I am wrong, this did not happen in the 12 days war

Yeah its odd that hezbollah is attacking? but no otherwise silent, could be some isolated-lone faction/cell not hezbollah overall.

Nope this didnt happen last year, there is also some reports of some iraqis that broke into syrian border saying they are headed towards israel, in cars

Iran doesn't have any kind of navy to begin with. Hence, why they're being attacked. Same goes for the air force. That is the point and that is why they're getting attacked because they don't have nukes or navy or air force. None of those three things I just mentioned.

Let me also add: Iran doesn't have chemical or biological weapons either. Syria had chemical weapons, and was stupid to give them up. Now, look at Syria.

The only thing I'm wondering about regarding the so-called "navy" is where 3 standard Kilo-Yeltsin-class SSK from the 1990s are and if they can do some resistance at all. Only units that theoretically - on paper - may do something, if anything at all, regarding the so-called "navy". Whatever else Iran have, a few "midget subs", can't do much, it seems. And when it comes to surface ships, Iran really doesn't have anything there at all.

Iran should have learned from what happened to Iraq, Libya, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, etc. If "you" don't have nukes, they will come for "you". Especially when a country doesn't have a navy or air force either.

The "rape" formula is the following - Mathematics style: No nukes + no chemical or biological weapons + no navy + no air force = Get violated by the "Rule-based Gang Members".

FIFY:

No nukes + no chemical or biological weapons + no navy + no air force + Gold + Oil = Get violated by the "Rule-based Gang Members".
