France to send anti-drone systems to Cyprus

France is planning to send anti-missile and anti-drone systems to Cyprus after a British air base on the island was attacked.

The reported French aid to the island follows Greece's offer of assistance hours after RAF Akrotiri, a British sovereign base, was targeted in two separate drone incidents on Monday.

In the first case, an Iranian-made Shahed drone crashed on the base's runway, causing limited damage.

Hours later, two more drones were captured.

France will send anti-missile and anti-drone systems, as well as a frigate.

She said French President Emmanuel Macron communicated the intention to Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides early Tuesday.

A Cypriot government source, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed the report./ CNA
