“The frigate Kimon is being immediately dispatched to the Republic of Cyprus, accompanied by a second frigate … and a pair of F-16 fighter jets,” the ministry said in a statement, adding that Greece would assist Cyprus in “countering threats and illegal actions on its territory”.
Defence Minister Nikos Dendias also indicated that he will travel to Cyprus tomorrow.
