Turkey weighs sending F-16s to Northern Cyprus after drone attack linked to Hezbollah.

Turkey is considering deploying F-16 fighter jets to Northern Cyprus amid rising regional tensions following a drone attack on a British military base on the island, believed to be launched by Hezbollah using an Iranian-made drone. The move is part of phased security planning by Turkey to bolster the self-declared Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, which is recognized only by Turkey. The incident, linked to broader Middle East conflicts including U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran and retaliatory actions, has prompted military support from several European nations and heightened concerns over stability in the Eastern Mediterranean. No final decision has been made, and the deployment remains under internal review.
