Letymbiotis: Denies Launch of Missiles Towards Cyprus

The Cypriot Government has denied the launch of missiles towards Cyprus, in a statement made by Government Spokesman Konstantinos Letymbiotis via the X platform. It was clarified that there is no indication of a threat to the country. Letymbiotis stated that the competent authorities are closely monitoring the situation on an ongoing basis, responding to reports and statements regarding the launch of missiles. The denial comes after statements by UK Defence Secretary John Healey, that Cyprus found itself at the centre of developments, as two Iranian missiles were launched in its direction, near British military bases.
