The Interior Ministry has ordered the evacuation of a Limassol apartment block listed as dangerous after a balcony gave way on Thursday morning. No one was hurt.
It happened at around 10am at the Roussos Olympic Palace complex on Georgiou Katsounotou Street. According to information, the fifth-floor balcony gave way and part of it landed on the fourth-floor balcony below.
Police, Civil Defence and the Fire Service attended, along with officials from the Limassol District Local Government Organisation (DLGO), to assess the situation and take the necessary safety measures.
The residents will be housed temporarily for two days under the evacuation order. According to information obtained by philenews, the people living in the building rent their flats.
Separately, evacuation proceedings by the Limassol DLGO are under way for the building. A similar incident happened at the same block in 2022.
