U.S. Embassy in Nicosia: "Do Not Approach the Embassy"

The U.S. Embassy in Nicosia has issued a strict recommendation to U.S. citizens in Cyprus to remain vigilant and avoid approaching the embassy building except in emergencies. The warning was issued due to information about a potential drone threat in the Paphos area. The embassy provides instructions on how to deal with a possible missile or drone attack, such as seeking shelter indoors or lying on the ground. It also warns of the danger from debris and advises citizens to avoid military installations and other potential targets.
