Russian Antenna Found in Drone That Crashed in Akrotiri: Tensions Ease

Following an alert at the British Bases in Cyprus, the Akrotiri area remains on alert, but tensions appear to be easing. Initially, a warning message was issued regarding a possible military operation, which was later recalled. Investigations are focused on the wreckage of a drone that crashed in the area on Sunday. According to information relayed by foreign media, a Russian antenna was found in the wreckage, which is believed to be able to make the drone difficult to detect by radar. The military presence in the area remains noticeable, with the landing of an A400M transport aircraft, which however, the Base authorities attribute to a scheduled exercise. Schools in the area remain closed and residents have been preventatively relocated to safe locations.
