The Cyprus Police continue to be in a state of full operational readiness. This was stated by police spokesperson Vyronas Vyronos, emphasizing that an expanded plan of preventive measures is being implemented both on land and at sea.

According to the police representative, security measures have been strengthened:

  • at critical infrastructure facilities,
  • in locations considered high-risk areas,
  • in the territorial waters of the Republic of Cyprus.

The measures are preventive in nature and aimed at averting potential threats. The police are acting in close coordination with:

  • state services,
  • the administration of the British Bases,
  • other relevant agencies.

The main priority is the protection of citizens and ensuring public safety.

The police reminded residents of the contact numbers:

  • 112 and 199 — to be used in life-threatening situations,
  • 1460 — if other telephone lines are busy.
