Akrotiri evacuation order suspended
The evacuation order for the British Akrotiri base and its surrounding areas has now been suspended, the interior ministry said on Friday.
“Despite the end of the evacuation status, the area remains on heightened alert and the situation will be constantly reassessed, with the aim of taking timely measures should a new need arise,” the ministry said.
It added that the mayor or Kourion and the deputy mayor of Akrotiri have already been informed about the decision.
The suspension comes after an evacuation order was issued for 11 days following the suspected Hezbollah drone attack earlier this month.
Civil defence teams will continue their patrols in the area.
