AIR RAID SIRENS - 15 & 20 July

   

Air Raid Sirens Sound across Republic of Cyprus every July

Each year the Republic of Cyprus marks the anniversary of the invasion of Cyprus by sounding the air raid sirens across the island. 

The wailing sirens are heard in each district and while there is no cause for alarm it can be worrying for those not expecting the early morning wake up. 

The first sirens are heard on 15th July at 8:20am marking the anniversary of the coup against Archbishop Makarios in 1974.

They sound a second time on July 20th, this time at 5:30am to mark the time the Turkish invasion started.
