Members of the United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus (Unficyp) have been placed on alert after reports appeared late on Monday of a contingent of Turkish Cypriot soldiers who gathered in the buffer zone near the Ayios Dometios checkpoint in Nicosia, purportedly for construction work.
The area falls into the jurisdiction of the United Nations, so construction works cannot be carried out.
The Unficyp is monitoring the situation, which a spokesperson has deemed “calm and under control”.
The ‘public works ministry’ in the north also told the Cyprus Mail that it is “unaware of any works in the buffer zone”.
