The Times: Britain Sends Warship To Cyprus

The defense secretary held a meeting with senior military officials.

Britain is planning to send a warship to protect the Royal Air Force Akrotiri airbase in Cyprus, which has been attacked by Iranian drones.

This was reported by The Times.

According to the publication, Britain is considering sending the missile destroyer HMS Duncan (D37) to Cyprus, where the Royal Navy's Akrotiri base is located.

The country's Defense Minister John Healey held a meeting with senior military figures where they discussed sending the ship to Cyprus.

It should be noted that the Akrotiri base has been subjected to two attacks by Iranian drones, which became known on Monday, March 2.

The strikes on the facility came to light after British Prime Minister Keir Starmer allowed the United States to use the base for attacks on Iran.

After reports of the drone incidents, Greece sent two frigates and two F-16 fighter jets to Cyprus, and deployed a Patriot battery to the island of Karpathos in the southeastern Aegean Sea.

In the meantime, France plans to deploy its frigate to Cyprus, as well as deploy missile systems and counter-drone capabilities.
