Akrotiri: Non-Essential Personnel Evacuated - Residents Leaving the Village

The Sovereign Base Areas Administration has announced the temporary evacuation of non-essential personnel from RAF Akrotiri base as a precautionary measure following the drone crash. Simultaneously, residents of Akrotiri village are leaving their homes, although the Administration does not consider the evacuation of the general population necessary. The other SBA locations (Episkopi, Dhekelia, Agios Nikolaos) will operate as normal. SBA Police have closed roads leading to Akrotiri, and residents have been transferred to the Limassol CEN.
