Mini-Alert at Akrotiri: Sirens Sounded but Residents Were Not Notified

A 'mini-alert' occurred at Akrotiri's British Bases last Tuesday, but residents appear to have not been adequately informed. The Bases lowered the volume of the sirens to limit anxiety, but they are still audible to residents. Despite the evacuation order remaining in effect until Friday, the majority of residents have returned to their homes. Protests have arisen from parents of Akrotiri Elementary School students, demanding the immediate reopening of the school, as transporting children to another school creates problems.
