Two Arrested on Terrorism Charges in Cyprus

Two foreign nationals, an Azerbaijani man and his partner, have been arrested in Cyprus on suspicion of terrorism. They were apprehended following intelligence reports and surveillance, after being observed photographing critical infrastructure and buildings of foreign interests in Limassol, Larnaca, and Paphos. Authorities believe they had been in Cyprus for the past few days and were preparing to leave the island. The case is considered serious, and the two suspects are being held in custody for five days for investigation. Police are investigating potential links to a previous case involving an Azerbaijani national in Limassol. Investigations are ongoing to determine the exact motives and plans of the two individuals. The arrest was made before they could pose a threat to the island's infrastructure and security. The case has raised concerns among authorities, who have intensified security measures and surveillance of critical infrastructure. Cooperation with foreign intelligence agencies continues to fully clarify the case and prevent similar actions in the future.
