Attempted Murder in Paralimni: 34-Year-Old Targeted in Shooting

An armed attack took place in Paralimni shortly after midnight on Friday, targeting a 34-year-old Cypriot man. The victim, known to authorities for a previous drug-related case, was shot at least four times while driving on Protaras – Cavo Greco Avenue. Fortunately, he was not injured. The perpetrators appear to have set an ambush and were aware of his movements. Shortly after, a burned-out car was found in British Bases territory, believed to have been used by the attackers. Police are investigating, reviewing CCTV footage and gathering testimonies, and awaiting a statement from the victim to gather further evidence.
