Starmer: HMS Dragon and Helicopters Sent to Cyprus

Keir Starmer announced the deployment of the destroyer HMS Dragon and helicopters with drone countermeasures to Cyprus. This move follows a related decision and is part of the UK's efforts to strengthen its defense operations.

Starmer stated that the United Kingdom will always act in the interest of the country and its allies. This development comes after Greece and France decided to send a total of three frigates to defend Cyprus, where two British bases of strategic importance to London are located.

In a post on Twitter, Keir Starmer stressed that the United Kingdom is fully committed to the security of Cyprus and the British military personnel stationed there.

According to Sky News, the deployment of HMS Dragon comes after an airstrike on an RAF site on the island.
