E-mailNICOSIA, March 2 (Rtrs) - A passenger air terminal in Paphos, Cyprus, was evacuated on Monday after a suspect object was picked up on radars, the Cyprus state broadcaster reported.
Paphos airport on the western coast of the island lies within Republic of Cyprus territory. It is about 60 kilometres (37 miles) from Britain's RAF Akrotiri, which was hit by an unmanned drone overnight. Just after midday Monday (1000 GMT) sirens sounded at the British base, and aircraft took off.
