A UK Royal Air Force (RAF) base in Cyprus came under attack by a drone, leaving two personnel injured, according to officials. The incident occurred early Sunday morning, marking a rare direct strike on British military infrastructure in the region.
Authorities confirmed that the two injured service members are receiving treatment and are in stable condition. The base, which hosts a contingent of UK personnel supporting NATO and regional operations, remains on high alert following the attack.
Officials are investigating the origin of the drone and whether it was operated remotely by a hostile group or state actor. Security measures have been tightened across all UK installations in Cyprus.
This incident adds to growing tensions in the region, as military experts warn of increased drone use in modern conflicts. UK defense officials have pledged a full review of base security and counter-drone capabilities.
More updates are expected as the investigation continues.
