Three men have been hospitalized with serious injuries sustained when the third floor Paphos apartment balcony they were sleeping on collapsed early on Friday morning.
All three are third country nationals, media reported.
The Cyprus News Agency said the apartment block on Nikos Antoniades street opposite Kennedy Square in central Paphos was old. It is understood the three had decided to sleep outside because of the heat, it added.
Paphos Mayor Phedon Phedonos said the balcony collapsed at around 2.30 to 3.00 am. The third-floor balcony collapsed on to that on the second storey, which in turn fell onto the first floor balcony, and then on to a parked car.
He said the other two balconies had broken the impact of the fall.
The three young men were taken to Paphos hospital. Their condition is described as very serious.
