Alarm sirens were heard at the British RAF Air Force base in Akrotiri in Cyprus shortly after noon, Cypriot state television CyBC reported.
In a live broadcast, CyBC reported that sirens were heard at the base and that planes were taking off from the facility near the southern city of Limassol.
British authorities have confirmed that the previous drone strike hit the runway area of RAF Akrotiri, although officials have released few operational details, citing security concerns. Precautionary measures remain in place around the base, while military activity has increased significantly in the surrounding area.
The United Kingdom has also begun relocating families stationed at the base as a security measure, underscoring concerns about further potential incidents as regional tensions escalate.
RAF Akrotiri, one of Britain's sovereign bases in Cyprus, plays a key logistical role in operations across the Middle East. Its strategic location has drawn renewed attention as Iran and allied forces step up attacks against targets linked to Western countries and regional partners.
