RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus was targeted by drone attacks overnight on Sunday, with additional drones intercepted. The Cypriot government expressed disappointment with the UK's handling of the incident, particularly regarding information sharing with local residents. Cypriot High Commissioner Dr Kyriacos Kouros called for enhanced cooperation between UK and local authorities to prevent future incidents. In response, the UK announced the deployment of British warship HMS Dragon to Cyprus, though the vessel is not scheduled to depart until the following week.
