Nicosia, March 2 (Xinhua) — A UAV struck the British Air Force base in Akrotiri on the southern coast of Cyprus early Monday morning, base officials and the Cypriot government reported.

Base officials reported that personnel were informed that a "small drone" had entered the airfield and that the base was responding to the incident. No injuries were reported, but "minor damage" was caused.

Officials also warned that further strikes were possible.

The strike came shortly after British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced he would allow the US to use British military bases to "destroy Iranian missiles where they are located."

Cypriot government spokesman Constantinos Letimbiotis noted that the authorities are monitoring the situation in constant coordination with both the management of the British bases and the UK government in London. –0–

Beijing, March 2 (Xinhua) — China calls on all parties to cease military operations to prevent further escalation of the conflict, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said Monday, commenting on the US-Israeli attack on Iran that killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and Iran's retaliatory missile and drone strikes against US military targets in the Gulf Cooperation Council and elsewhere.

The United States and Israel carried out military strikes on Iran without UN Security Council approval, which violates international law, Mao Ning emphasized at a daily briefing for journalists.

“China expresses deep concern about the spread of the conflict to neighboring countries,” she noted.

China believes that the sovereignty, security and territorial integrity of all Gulf countries should also be fully respected, the spokeswoman said. -0-

JERUSALEM, March 2 (Xinhua) — The Israeli army has launched an offensive against Hezbollah, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir announced on Monday.

He said the operation would last "many days" due to the fact that the conflict on the country's northern border has sharply escalated.

"We must prepare for multi-day combat operations," E. Zamir noted during a situation assessment at the IDF headquarters in Tel Aviv.

“This requires strong defensive and persistent offensive readiness, and actions will be conducted in continuous waves, taking advantage of emerging opportunities,” he said. –0–

BEIJING, March 2 (Xinhua) — China expressed serious dissatisfaction and strong protest on Monday over the UK's imposition of a new round of sanctions against Chinese companies under the pretext of so-called "Russia-related issues," a spokesperson for the Chinese Ministry of Commerce said.

The spokesman stressed that the UK's actions constituted unilateral sanctions that had no basis in international law and did not receive a United Nations mandate.

Regarding the Ukrainian crisis, the representative noted that China has consistently implemented strict controls on the export of dual-use goods in accordance with laws and regulations, stressing that normal exchanges and cooperation between Chinese and Russian enterprises should not be disrupted or affected.

The official called on the UK to immediately correct its wrong actions and lift sanctions against relevant Chinese entities, adding that China will take necessary measures to protect the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises. -0-

LONDON, March 2 (Xinhua) — Britain, France and Germany said they were ready to take "necessary and proportionate defensive action" against Iran.

"We will take steps to protect our interests and those of our allies in the region," a joint statement released Sunday said. "This may include taking necessary and proportionate defensive measures to destroy Iran's ability to launch missiles and drones where they are deployed."

“We agreed to work with the United States and our allies in the region on this issue,” the document states.

Also on Sunday, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Britain had accepted a US request to use British bases "for this specific and limited defensive purpose."

"Our partners in the Gulf have asked us to do more to protect them… British aircraft are in the air as part of coordinated defensive operations that have already successfully repelled Iranian attacks," Starmer said.

However, the only way to stop the threat is to destroy the missiles where they are stored, meaning “in the warehouses or in the launchers that were used for launching them,” he said.

Britain was not involved in the initial strikes on Iran and will not join any offensive action now, he added.
