Britain Cyprus's RAF Akrotiri base in Cyprus was hit overnight by an unmanned Shahed drone which caused minor material damage, Cyprus President Nikos Christodoulides said on Monday.
"I want to be clear: Our country does not participate in any way and does not intend to be part of any military operation," Christodoulides said in a statement.
Sources earlier told Reuters RAF Akrotiri had been targeted by two drones, one of which was intercepted. Christodoulides said he was in constant contact with European leaders and others over developments.
