Sky News: British Destroyer Delayed in Cyprus

A double alarm sounded at the British RAF military base in Akrotiri, Cyprus, due to a drone attack. The drone caused damage to a hangar used for American U2 spy planes. British authorities believe the attack was not random, as the hangar was easily identifiable via Google Maps. The deployment of a British destroyer to Cyprus is delayed until next week, while the French frigate Languedoc arrived in the area immediately. Additionally, Wildcat helicopters capable of detecting drones are expected this weekend. The British Defense Secretary left open the possibility of UK involvement in the war, while Cyprus is in a critical geostrategic position near Lebanon and areas of influence of Iran and Hezbollah.
