The Cypriot government has criticised the UK's response to drone attacks against an RAF base on the island ahead of a visit by Defence Secretary John Healey later.
Cypriot High Commissioner to the UK Dr Kyriacos Kouros told BBC Newsnight Cypriots were "disappointed" about the standard of information sharing with residents after RAF Akrotiri was hit overnight on Sunday and further drones were intercepted.
The attacks came days after the initial US-Israel strikes on Iran on Saturday morning which have led to an Iranian response across the Middle East.
Home Office Minister Alex Norris said the UK was "resolute" in protecting the nation's interests and that "significant" time had been spent building defensive systems in the eastern Mediterranean.
RAF Akrotiri was hit by a strike over the weekend which caused "minimal damage" and did not result in any casualties, Healey confirmed earlier this week.
