British families residing in the British Akrotiri base will remain evacuated until next Friday in a precautionary measure amid the ongoing tensions in the region, the bases said on Saturday.

A total of 286 residents have been accommodated in hotels at the bases’ expense since Monday.

Among the evacuees are vulnerable individuals and families.

Meanwhile, further security measures were implemented with the bases following the recent decree of the Republic to prohibit the use of drones and paragliding in their territory.

The bases launched an initial evacuation of Akrotiri residents and local schools after a drone attack hit the area on Monday.

So far, the bases have said that there are no restrictions in place in the other areas under their control.
