Car bomb

A BOMB destroyed the front part of a twin-cabin truck belonging to a 26-year old man at around 1:40 am yesterday morning in a Paphos village.

A police announcement said that after investigating the incident, it seems as though the bomb was placed between the windshield and the front bumper of the car, which was parked outside the man’s house.

The explosion caused extensive damages to the car and the front door of the owner’s house. The damages have yet to be estimated.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
