Greece sent military assets to Cyprus after the island found itself under increased threat following a series of drone attacks. Athens deployed two frigates, two F-16 fighter jets, and a drone defense system - a move described by Greek Defense Minister Nikos Dendias as a response to "unprovoked attacks."

Among the incidents that prompted the decision was a drone strike on the British military base RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus. Subsequently, two more unmanned aircraft heading toward the same base were intercepted. The airport in Paphos was evacuated after a suspicious radar signal.

Greek F-16 aircraft landed on Cypriot territory, visually confirming the deployment of forces. Minister Dendias announced a visit to Cyprus together with the armed forces chief General Dimitrios Houpis, where he will meet with President Nikos Christodoulides and Defense Minister Vasilis Palmas to coordinate defensive strategies.

The deployment of Greek military forces to Cyprus sends a clear signal of support toward Nicosia amid heightened instability in the eastern Mediterranean. Greece and Cyprus, both European Union members, are strengthening their defensive positions as regional tensions continue to grow.
