Cyprus remains on high alert as events in the Middle East war between Iran, the United States and Israel move at speed. Yesterday afternoon, two pairs of Greek F-16 fighter jets arrived on the island and are now stationed at the “Andreas Papandreou” air base in Paphos. The frigates “Kimon” and “Psara” have also set sail for Cyprus.
Today, Greek Defence Minister Nikos Dendias is expected to arrive. He will meet President Nikos Christodoulides and his Cypriot counterpart, Vasilis Palmas.
No notable incident was recorded during the night in Cyprus.
