Attack on RAF Akrotiri: Shahed Drone, Hezbollah, and Warnings

The British RAF Akrotiri airbase was attacked by an Iranian Shahed drone late Sunday night. Explosions were heard and personnel were evacuated. Schools in nearby areas remained closed. There are reports of limited material damage and temporary relocation of non-essential personnel. There is evidence that the drone may have been launched from Lebanon, possibly by Hezbollah. Cyprus will not participate in military operations. Additional defensive assets, including drone defense systems and fighter jets, have been transferred to Cyprus.
