NICOSIA, Mar 2: Four Greek F-16 fighter jets landed in Cyprus on Monday to bolster the country’s security, after a drone struck a U.K. military base. The drone strike caused minor damage, according to Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides. Another two drones flying in the direction of RAF Akrotiri shortly after midday on Monday were intercepted after two British Typhoon fighter jets and another pair of F-35 warplanes were scrambled from the base. Cyprus government spokesman Constantinos Letymbiotis posted on X that the arrival of the F-16s was done in close cooperation with Greece, which was also sending two navy frigates equipped with an anti-drone system.
