Cyprus's foreign minister said Friday there are "questions" about the future of British military bases on the island following a Hezbollah drone strike on RAF Akrotiri last Sunday that caused minimal damage but triggered diplomatic tensions over the lack of warning to nearby Cypriot civilians. The Cypriot government called for a "conversation" about the bases' future, while Britain responded by committing to Cyprus's security and deploying the warship HMS Dragon to the region.
