(MENAFN) Türkiye is evaluating the potential deployment of F-16 fighter jets to the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) as part of measures to safeguard the island’s security, according to reports.

“In light of recent developments, phased planning is underway to ensure the security of the TRNC. The deployment of F-16 aircraft to the island is among the options being considered,” a statement from Turkish Defense Ministry sources said.

The consideration comes amid rising tensions following recent US and Israeli military actions against Iran.

Earlier this week, Greek F-16V jets arrived at Paphos Airport in Greek Cyprus, reflecting concerns linked to the ongoing regional escalation, as stated by reports.
