The area was immediately cordoned off, and the improvised explosive device—which had been triggered but did not detonate—was safely defused by a police bomb disposal expert.
On October 4, 2026, three other individuals, aged 20, 22, and 28, were arrested in connection with the case and were placed in eight-day pretrial detention by court order on the same day..
On October 12, 2026, the case was scheduled for trial before the Limassol Permanent Criminal Court, with the 22-year-old among the three arrested individuals standing as the defendant, while police investigations continue.
