Arson suspected in Limassol fires

Two fires in Limassol, one near Agios Silas and the other in Agios Therapon, are believed to have been deliberately set according to Nikos Logginos, Chief Firefighter. Arson is suspected in both incidents, with Logginos stating that the fires were intentionally started to cause destruction.
