The UK Ministry of Defence has stated that “Shahed-like drone” that targeted British Royal Air Force base of Akrotiri in Cyprus was not launched from Iran.
On 2nd March, it was reported that a drone strike hit a British air base in Cyprus causing limited damage and no casualties.
The strike, which hit a runway at the British Royal Air Force base of Akrotiri just after midnight, shook the east Mediterranean island, a holiday hotspot and home to thousands of foreign companies. Local residents scrambled to seek shelter.
This attack took place days after United States and Israel launched attacks on Iran on February 28, in an extraordinary war which has now killed over 1,000 people in Iran.
“The Ministry of Defence can confirm that a Shahed-like drone which targeted RAF Akrotiri at midnight on 2nd March was not launched from Iran,” it said.
The announcement leaves the door open for speculation.
