Turkiye plans to deploy six F-16 fighter jets to northern Cyprus on Monday to bolster the defences of the Turkish community there, broadcaster NTV says, citing a civil aviation official from the breakaway Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.
According to Reuters, a Turkish defence ministry source said on Saturday that Turkiye was considering the deployment of F-16 aircraft to Cyprus, among other steps being taken to ensure the security of the Turkish Cypriot state as conflict spreads in the region.
