EasyJet has grounded three return flights between the UK and Cyprus as a safety precaution following a drone strike on the RAF Akrotiri airbase. The airline confirmed that while services scheduled for 3 March remain unaffected, passengers should monitor flight trackers for updates. The Ministry of Defence reported minimal damage and no casualties at the base, though military families have been relocated locally. The attack occurred shortly after the Prime Minister authorised US forces to use the facility.
