A bomb attack was carried out in the early hours of yesterday morning against a taverna operating in Limassol, southern Cyprus. The establishment, owned by a 60-year-old Greek Cypriot man, sustained serious damage in the blast.
According to the Alithia newspaper, a police investigation into the incident is ongoing. The identities of the perpetrators and the motive behind the attack have not yet been made public.
In a separate incident in Paphos, police acting on a tip-off raided the home of a 53-year-old man. When the suspect spotted officers, he allegedly attempted to throw a black package from his courtyard into an adjacent field but was unsuccessful. A search of the premises resulted in the seizure of 104 grams of cocaine.
In another development reported by Fileleftheros, three Sudanese nationals and one Syrian national were arrested on suspicion of involvement in a human trafficking network. The four suspects were reportedly identified while attempting to cross from northern Cyprus into the south along with three other individuals. All four had previously applied for political asylum in the Republic of Cyprus, with their applications still pending at the time of their arrest.
