Two Arrested on Terrorism Charges - Operation Across Three Provinces

Two foreign nationals, an Azerbaijani man and his partner, have been arrested in Cyprus on suspicion of terrorism. Authorities acted on intelligence reports and apprehended the pair while they were photographing critical infrastructure and buildings of foreign interests in Limassol, Larnaca, and Paphos. They are believed to have been in Cyprus for the past 2-3 days and were scheduled to depart the island the following day. Police are investigating a possible connection to a previous case involving another Azerbaijani in Limassol. The couple appeared before the Nicosia District Court and were remanded in custody for five days, while investigations are ongoing.
