Residents of Akrotiri were displaced early Monday after a military drone struck facilities within the British bases shortly after midnight, leading to precautionary evacuations, school closures and a series of high-level security meetings.
The unmanned aerial vehicle impacted the airfield at RAF Akrotiri, causing limited material damage, according to official statements.
The explosion was audible in surrounding communities, with sirens heard as far as Limassol.
Base police sealed access roads
