A bomb explosion in the early hours of Wednesday, January 15, shook the Limassol district, targeting the home of a 34-year-old woman. While the property is newly built and uninhabited, the incident has sparked intense police scrutiny.
The explosion occurred around 3 a.m., shattering the calm of the night. According to authorities, the device was placed outside the metal front door of the home, detonating with enough force to destroy the entrance and inflict minor damage on the house’s furnishings. The value of the damage remains undetermined.
Police and a bomb disposal expert quickly arrived at the scene to examine the blast site. Early investigations confirm the use of an improvised explosive device (IED) as the cause of the explosion. The property has since been secured as officers from the Limassol CID continue their work, scouring for clues and determining a possible motive.
While no injuries were reported, the timing and nature of the attack have raised questions. Was the 34-year-old homeowner, who has yet to move into the property, the intended target? Or was this an act meant to send a broader message?
The police have not released further details, but they are treating the case as a serious criminal act. Locals in the area remain on edge, with many questioning how such an attack could occur in their otherwise peaceful neighborhood.
The investigation is ongoing, and authorities urge anyone with information to come forward.
