Armed Attack in Occupied Territories: Injuries and Increased Insecurity in Nicosia

An armed attack on a car dealership in occupied Nicosia has caused shock and concern, resulting in two injuries. The 'police' arrested a 16-year-old suspect, who allegedly arrived recently from Turkey. Turkish Cypriot media reports that the attack was carried out with great audacity. The increase in armed attacks in the occupied territories and the presence of young perpetrators entering from Turkey raise questions about the effectiveness of security measures and intensify the sense of insecurity.
