Two more drones heading toward RAF Akrotiri intercepted — Cyprus government confirms

Cyprus government spokesperson Konstantinos Letymbiotis confirmed that two unmanned drones heading toward RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus were "successfully intercepted." This is the third drone targeting the UK base: • Overnight: 1 Iranian drone struck RAF Akrotiri — limited damage, no casualties, families evacuated. • Midday March 2: 2 additional drones heading toward Akrotiri intercepted before reaching the base. The sustained targeting suggests Iran views UK bases as legitimate targets following Starmer's authorization of US use of UK facilities for defensive operations. Cyprus — an EU member state — is now effectively under sustained drone attack from Iran, raising questions about EU mutual defense obligations and NATO coordination.
