Cyprus demands UK close military bases as Iran war fallout spreads
Activists in Cyprus are calling for the closure of British military bases on the island, including RAF Akrotiri, after an Iranian drone struck near residential areas during the conflict. Residents near the base described growing fear after hearing explosions and sirens in the night. One local said she feared her family 'might never return' after evacuating during the attack, and that a constant sense of unease remained.
