Large-Scale Fires in Cyprus: 120 Hectares Destroyed, Ammunition as Possible Cause
A massive fire between the villages of Kaló Choriό, Agía Ánna, and Psévda destroyed approximately 120 hectares of land with pine forest, olive trees, shrubs, and agricultural land. The fire department prevented house fires, but environmental damage is significant. A commentary criticizes the National Guard's decision to destroy RPG rockets during the heat wave in dry terrain as negligent. In parallel, a fire broke out in a hay storage facility in Marki involving approximately 200 bales, which was brought under control through firefighting measures.
