RAF Akrotiri issues security alert after new threat detected

RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus issues a brief security alert after radar detects a potential inbound projectile, quickly declaring the incident concluded without impact.

On March 22, 2026, personnel at Britain’s RAF Akrotiri air base in southern Cyprus received an emergency text message warning of a security threat and urging them to take cover. The alert followed radar detection of what appeared to be an inbound projectile in the heavily congested wartime airspace over the Eastern Mediterranean. Within about 15 minutes, the UK Ministry of Defence declared the incident concluded and lifted the shelter‑in‑place order, confirming that no projectile struck the base. British officials attributed the repeated alerts to hypersensitive detection systems responding to multiple flights, missiles, and drones in the region, particularly since an Iranian‑made drone clipped the base perimeter on March 2.
