Drones targeting UK base in Cyprus were launched from Lebanon: Cypriot government source

A Cypriot government source told AFP on Monday that Iranian-made drones that targeted a British military base in Cyprus had been launched from nearby Lebanon, probably by Hezbollah.

The source said "it has been confirmed" the drones -- one of which struck a runway -- had set off from Lebanon. When asked if the Iran-backed militant group had launched them, they replied "most likely".
