Police on Alert – Crisis Center Established After Akrotiri Strike

The Cyprus Police is on high alert and has established a Crisis Center following the strike at the British Akrotiri base. Enhanced security measures have been taken, while the assessment of existing measures is ongoing, taking into account the current situation. The Police has an operational plan that has been strengthened since the start of the conflict in the Middle East. Police spokesman Byron Byronos stated that the Police is on constant alert and assesses security measures in various areas, strengthening them where necessary. Preventive measures have been taken at critical infrastructure and other high-risk areas. The Crisis Center operates in conjunction with the CSECD (Central Coordinating Rescue and Crisis Management Center), assessing actions and measures taken. The Police closely monitors the situation and adapts security measures according to developments. The Police's goal is to ensure the safety of citizens and protect infrastructure. The situation remains fluid and requires constant vigilance and a rapid response to any new threat.
