British Bases Address Drone Concerns, Reassure Public of Low Threat Level

British Bases are on alert due to concerns about attacks from unmanned aircraft, but assure that the threat to eastern Cyprus remains low. Defensive capabilities and protection levels have been enhanced, and a temporary evacuation of non-essential personnel from RAF Akrotiri Base has taken place. Residents of Akrotiri village who wish to leave will receive support. The Bases deny reports of an evacuation of all facilities on the island and call for calm.
