Cyprus’ national evacuation plan ''Estia'' for the reception and repatriation of citizens of third countries, is in full operation, Government Spokesperson Constantinos Letymbiotis announced on platform "X".

According to the Spokesperson, the Republic of Cyprus was at a high level of preparedness and ‘’Estia’’ was activated on the night of 1 October by the Crisis Management Team of the Foreign Affairs Ministry, following the developments in the region.

He said that so far, no requests have been submitted for the initiation of large-scale evacuation operations.
