Evacuation Order for Akrotiri Village Lifted But Civil Defence Patrols Stay on Guard
Cyprus lifted a 10-day evacuation order for Akrotiri village on 13 March, allowing residents and expatriate staff to return home after March 2 drone damage. Civil defence patrols and SMS alert systems remain active, reflecting ongoing risk. Companies with projects near the British base can reduce relocation costs but are urged to keep contingency housing and transport plans in place.
