The alert at Pafos Airport has been called off, according an official announcement.
Pafos Airport as well as the nearby communities of Timi, Mandria, Acheleia and Anarita had been evacuated, following sightings of a suspicious flying object, thought to be a drone, above the airport.
The Government Spokesman has reported that two unmanned drones heading for the British Bases at Akrotiri have been intercepted.
The US Embassy, meanwhile, has issued the following statement, "Cyprus: There is information about a possible drone threat to Paphos region. Do not come to the Embassy unless of an emergency. The U.S. Embassy in Nicosia urges U.S. citizens in Cyprus to stay alert and safe."
The British Bases are also understood to be being evacuated with reports of sirens being heard at Akrotiri.
