A drone strike hit Britain's Royal Air Force base at Akrotiri in Cyprus early Monday, causing limited damage and no casualties, marking the first such attack on a U.K. Cyprus base since 1986. The strike occurred after Prime Minister Keir Starmer authorized U.S. use of British military bases for operations against Iranian missiles, with Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides confirming a Shahed-type unmanned aerial vehicle was responsible.
